2015 Drainage Project Kickoff

We are pleased to announce that the club has contracted with Golf Plus Construction to install 8,000 linear feet of drainage on the golf course this spring.  This project is another piece to the puzzle of the club's push to provide improved shoulder-season playing conditions.  

Golf Plus Construction is owned by Daniel Soushek.
Last year's installation of 4,000 feet of drainage on the 18th hole, also installed by Golf Plus Construction proved to be wildly successful based off the observed conditions this past winter as this hole went from one of the wettest to one of the driest in a single season.  The agronomy team is very excited to continue this initiative once again this spring and hope that you share our excitement as we get started.  

Our plan is to work Monday-Friday through the month of April and early May, averaging 1,000 feet a week with a three-man team working on the project barring any wild weather events.  We are beginning on the 15th hole and will clean up the remaining wet spots on the top of the fairway in the first landing zone as well as a few cart access areas between the path and fairway.  After that, we will be moving to the 16th hole and knocking out every single wet spot in the fairway and cart access areas.  The next stop will be the 17th hole where we will address a few chronically wet areas, namely to the right of the green, just above the approach area.  At that point, we will evaluate how many feet of the 8,000 feet we have remaining and allocate appropriately to other holes.

Getting started on #15 on March 25th.
It goes without saying that our ultimate goal throughout this project is to minimize the impact on our members' experience when playing the course.  With that said, we have also formulated a strategy to keep our installation team working as safely and efficiently as possible.  Our experience has shown us that the approach that we used last year as well as in 2012 worked quite well.  We will be moving the tees up onto the fairway to eliminate any tee shots over the heads of our crew, depending on where they are working at that given time.  The tee markers will be placed in a spot as flat as possible while also maximizing the yardage on that particular hole.  This course setup will be in effect Tuesday-Friday with the tees returning to the normal tees every weekend.

We will be diligently communicating project updates and locations to the golf shop on a daily basis so I highly encourage you to check in with them before your round if you are interested to know our plans for that particular day.  I would also like to thank you all in advance for your enthusiasm and patience as we work to get this project completed.  A little short term pain for long term gain in the end will be worth it as we'll be enjoying much drier fairways this next winter.  If you have any questions or feedback in regards to this project, please contact me anytime at rgordon@tpcsr.com.

  4. In the late 70s, I was introduced to Tim Galwey's Inner Game of Tennis. Over many years, it helped me as a target shooter, reach a level where I won medals at World and European Championships. I have the golf version, but for me, the original is far better at getting the mind where I want it. Galwey is a tennis pro and he also wrote The Inner Game of Skiing. https://topgolfgears.com/best-golf-irons.html

  6. Today I'm going to share with you one of the big mistakes in golf. It’s called intuitive acceleration or early acceleration during the swing. And it's the main reason why you're not hitting the golf ball as well as you could. https://topgolfgears.com/best-golf-irons.html
