Lately we have been in improvement mode and have greatly improved areas around the club like the circle area by the driving range, the stonework next to the cartpath on #8 whitworth and have submitted new permits to build a new sign in the front entrance to the club.  A key area that needed to be improved was behind #1 of the Whitworth course.  This area has been part of our plan for a while now to greatly improve. Last week we installed a new flower bed featuring the clubs new logo in the form of a "T"and "C" together meaning Trophy Club.  So far the project looks great and we will add irrigation to it this week and plants will soon follow.  Below is how the project went and the steps we took to create it from before pics to after pics.

The area behind #1 Whitworth was bare because of shade from all the oak trees and from drainage runoff.  We decided to dress the area up by first adding a flower bed featuring stone work showing off new logo.

The flower bed is coming together.  We brought in big boulders to form the flower bed perimeter and added soil to raise it up from the surrounding area.

Our head foreman, Emilio, and one of the Whitworth crew Members, Honorio, are adding stone to the "C" of the "TC".  Its really starting to take shape and start to look good at this point.

The "TC" has taken shape and looks really good.  The golf course superintendent, me, (Grant Meredith), shows off the newly finished work.

Here is a closer look of the "TC".

In the coming future we plan to add Dianthus flowers to the center of the "C" and will seed fescue into the rest of the flower bed.  Irrigation will be installed throughout the entire area and fescue should be seeded around the surrounding trees and up to the cartpath as well.
