Open Golf Inspection Items as of 7 April 2009

Updated by Golf Committee

 

                                          Determination by the Golf Committee

Holes 11, 12, 15: To improve playability and to conform to the golf master plan recommend removing the following bunkers. Hole 11, remove the right rear bunker; Hole 12, remove fairway bunker on the left side of the fairway and replace with a mounded grass area; Hole 15, remove the fairway bunker on the right side of fairway replacing with a mounded grass area.

Estimated Completion: Golf Committee requested Ken Wolford provide cost to correct. The golf committee then will make a decision. 1 May 2009

Type of bunker sand used.  The players have been asking the inspection team why the sand at LWW is so fine.  We would suggest a test program be implemented where different types of sand are added to separate bunkers and let the golfers decide.

Estimated Completion: Golf Committee requested Ken Wolford provide cost for a test program. The golf committee then will make a decision. 1 May 2009

Practice Area:The reason for the low rating was the synthetic green area above the practice sand trap. This area in compacted with sand and mold. Recommend that Ken Wolford and Jim Knight formulate a plan for correction.

Estimated Completion: Golf Committee requested Ken Wolford provide cost to correct. The golf committee then will make a decision. 1 May 2009

 

Inspection Open Items

Tees:  Turf density is good with the exception of tees 4 and 9.

Tee 4 (White):  Turf density was very poor.  This tee has a history of poor condition. There needs to be a permanent fix to a longstanding problem.

Estimated Completion:  PAD is currently being written to modify tee. 1 May 2009

Tee 9 (Red/White): Turf density very poor: Similar issue as the 4th Tee.

Estimated Completion: PAD is currently being written to add a lower white tee. 1 May 2009

Tee 6 (White): There is a depression in the middle front of the tee adjacent to the white yardage marker.  1 July 2009

Estimated Completion

Hole 1:  The encroachment of the rough into the fairway is affecting playability.  This issue was documented in the May inspection and corrected in August.  Since that time the rough was allowed to expand.

Estimated Completion:  13 April 2009

Hole 2:  Bare area left of cart path near hazard.

Estimated Completion: 1 May 2009

Hole 4:  Numerous bare areas to the left of cart path, starting approximately 100 yards from the tee where the cart path curb ends, and extends 250 ft.

Estimated Completion:  1 May 2009

Hole 5:  Wet area in rough just past the small pine tree on the right approximately 250 yards from the green.  It may be a water line leak.

 Estimated Completion: 1 May 2009

Hole 6:  Wet area in rough near the right green side bunker, between the bunker and cart path. Estimated Completion: 1 June 2009

Hole 6:  Bare/Dead area by fountain.

Estimated Completion: 1 May 2009

Hole 8:  Bare area between the cart path and green.

Estimated Completion:  1 May 2009

Apron:  Majority of aprons are uneven. This area has seen the high and low ratings over the last year.  The apron condition did show a great improvement during the summer months but needs to be addressed again. Estimated Completion: Done, but will be monitored. Cart path on hole 15 needs repaired. The 90 feet of cart path from Lake Wildwood Drive to the 15 tee needs replaced.

Estimated Completion 15 June 2009

 

Green 8. Over the last few years the right side of the green surface area has been considerably reduced and patched with varied types of grasses.  This has led to a smaller and more oval green.  If there is a problem with the right side that can’t be rectified we would recommend expanding the green on the left side and left rear of the green.   The larger green area would provide additional pin placement areas and reduce wear.

Estimated Completion….. 1 May 2009

 

Hole 7 fairway. The black tee points directly to the left rough.

Estimated Completion….. 13 April 2009

Inspection Team:
