The area between #9 green and the cart path has always been troubled. Three basic problems exist in this area. 1. It is a natural low spot. Water puddles here during rain storms in the winter and during periods of heavy irrigation. 2. It is a high traffic area. Most golf carts traverse through this area after the player hits their approach shot to the green and are parking their cart on the path while putting. 3. The area suffers from insufficient irrigation coverage.
In an effort to remedy the situation today we installed new drainage and supplemental irrigation along the cart path. Once we are done with the work we will then intensely aerify the area and prepare it for overseeding. The new drainage will carry water away during rain storms and the new irrigation will provide water to areas that were previously lacking.
For play this week and until we close for over seeding this area will be marked as Ground Under Repair (GUR). Two Ball Drops have also been provided. If you are in the area marked as GUR and choose to excise your relief options, you may drop in a area not marked as GUR and no nearer to the hole or you may drop in the defined ball drop that is nearest to your ball.
