New Clocks

We have started work on upgrading our clocks on the back 9 of the Hogan.  Below are some pictures of the work that has taken place so far. 

Camerino digging the hole for the new foundation.

Setting the frame for the new foundation with pipe leading to inside of new clock for hydraulic tubes (center pipe) and power (2 smaller pipes).

Poured concrete into frame.

As we continue this project, more photos and updates will be added later.

Tarping Greens

Freezing temperatures are headed our direction so we've decided to try and stay ahead of the weather by tarping the greens.  We will start tarping the Hogan greens today and will tarp the Whitworth greens tomorrow.

Spraying Weeds

Today we are spraying the weeds next to our overseeded tees and in front of the driving range tee.  The mixture being sprayed is a combination of selective cool season herbicide for residual control and a non-selective herbicide for a quick burn.  Pictured below is Fernando Spraying in front of the driving range team.

Ice

Golf course is fully iced over here at TCCC.  Good thing we were able to put our tarps over all the greens on Thursday.  Very cold Saturday morning where the temp is 18 right now with a high of 27 for today.  Here is looking down 9 Whitworth from the clubhouse.

Here's a view down number 3 Whitworth from the back tee box.

Here is a view of looking down number 1 Hogan from the back tee box.

French drainage

We've just installed some new French drainage to number 16 in front of the green on the Whitworth golf course.  This area has been a constant wet area and the new French drainage should alleviate the problem. 

New Out of Bounds line

With all the new construction that's been happening around the club with the addition of new homes the property lines are coming into focus a little more clearly.  Here, on number 1 of the Hogan, we are moving our out of bound stakes to accommodate the true property line.  Stakes will also be moved to the right of Whitworth number 1 as well this week.

Drainage #16 Hogan

When it rains these bunkers on number 16 of the Hogan course always seem to stay a little wetter than others.  After investigating the problem, we discovered that roots from the trees pictured above had taken over the drain pipe that allows those bunkers to drain properly.  Here, Camerino, Marcelino, and Jose are replacing the root filled sections of drain pipe with new drain pipe.
