Day Two... great weather for drains

25/5/2021

 
Today the progress moved forward with pace:
  1. The foot bridge on the 8th creek was built.
  2. The second cart path bridge was built and load tested, successfully, with the tractor and trailer.
  3. The 9th fairway pipe installed - immediate drainage of the "Cemetery Drain" - more success.
  4. The earthworks for the 8th Fairway drain pipe and creek closer to the green completed ready for piping tomorrow.
The plan for tomorrow is piping the 8th fairway and bridge work for the new pathway.

Thursday is replacing the turf  - so if you can lend a hand and a few hours that would be fantastic.

Some photos from today's effort below.

8th & 9th Working Bee...

24/5/2021

 
Picture
Today was Day One of the 8/9th Drainage works.  A great roll up of volunteers kicked off the mornings work with some heavy lifting of the cut turf and storing for laying back down later in the week.  Then the excavator started on forming up the new creek on the 8th, finally the RHS cart bridge was installed.  A great days work made easier by “many hands”.
The aim is to get all the major work done this week, there will be some ongoing remedial work on parts of the fairway and rough.

9th & 8th Fairway Drainage Project

Picture
As you are aware the drainage project for the 9th and 8th fairways will commence on Monday 24th May at 7:00am, with the expected duration of one week.  Some minor follow-up work is expected beyond this timeframe.
We are calling on volunteers  to lend a hand during the week.  Whatever time you can spare would be greatly appreciated. If you can contact me on bgcclubcaptain@gmail.com specifying availability and skills I will be able to build up a roster.  Also, let me know what tools you can bring, such as,
wheelbarrows, shovels, spades etc.

This week materials  will be stockpiled in a lay down area in the vicinity of the Telstra tower. In addition, there will be building materials positioned around the construction areas but out of the line of play.
A temporary green for the 8th hole and tee box for the 9th hole will be set up for that week.
Thanks for your understanding regarding this work, it is important for the ongoing course condition and playability.
