Open Golf Course Inspection items as of
Golf Committee:
The
maintenance staff needs a larger time window to allow spring plugging of the entire
golf course. Maintenance needs a 3 week window to allow plugging of the greens,
tees and fairways. Because of conflicting golf tournament schedule the
maintenance staff was only able to plug 3 of the 9 fairways. There needs to be
a better working partnership between Golf Maintenance and Pro Shop golf
scheduling.
Estimated
Completion: The Golf Committee should be the arbitrator in finding a solution. Waiting
Greens Committee action
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.
Cost is $2000 for seeded and $2800 for sod. Waiting Greens Committee
action
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. Cost $400. Waiting
Greens Committee action
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 a cost for correction.
He golf committee will then made a decision.

Fairway/Rough:
Hole 2: Bare area left of cart path near hazard.
Estimated
Completion: Oct 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: Oct 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: Oct 2009
Hole 6: Wet area in rough near the right green side
bunker, between the bunker and cart path. Estimated Completion: Oct 2009
Hole 8: Bare area between the cart path and green.
Estimated
Completion: Oct 2009
Hole 11: The
sculpted area of the fairway that leads to the green, 40 yards in front of the
green, needs to change so that the fairway points not just to the red tee but
all tees. This can be accomplished by widening fairway area by 5 yards.
Estimated
Completion: Sep 2009…end of hot weather
Hole13: The left side of the fairway needs to be
sculpted to follow the contour of the new cart path.
Estimated Completion: Sep 2009…end of hot
weather
Hole 13: The turf grass to the right of the cart path
is very poor. The worst area is located where the old cart path was once
located. This area should be marked ground under repair until corrected.
Estimated
Completion: Sep 2009
Hole 15: There was a pine tree removed, 50 yards from
the black tee, but the stump still needs to be removed.
Estimated
Completion: No date set. Once there are addition stumps to be removed we can
schedule a contractor. Not cost effective to do one at a time. Issue will stay
active until completion.
Hole 15: Cart
path damage, four sections, 265 yards from the green.
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: The first cart path area to be repaired will be 90 feet of cart
path from Lake Wildwood Drive to 15 tee. This area will address money is
available.
Estimated
Completion: Sep 2009 Volunteer Group will repair path
Holes 10 -
18: There are numerous bare spots and damaged turf areas adjacent to the carts
paths. The majority of the damage was caused from golf carts, maintenance and
security vehicles. This will always be a problem with narrow cart paths. That
should not prevent having a maintenance program to correct damages.
Estimated
Completion: Nov 2009. Plan is to add
river rock
Tees:
Tee 11 and
16(Red): Requires a sand container to
repair divots.
Estimated
Completion: Containers on order
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 July 2009
Tee 6
(White): There is a depression in the middle front of the tee adjacent to the
white yardage marker.
Estimated
Completion: Oct 2009
Greens:
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 July 2009
