| | How are the roots doing? - by Matt Malick | | |

| | River Rock & Sand added to #4 | | |
| | This past week we continued to make improvements to hole # 4 on the West. We added river rock to the creek bed we created down the left side of the hole. We have also started what will become an aggressive sanding program on the fairway. Along with the new drainage, the sand will help create a firmer surface. | | |
