Remaining water cooler stations

We finally finished putting the remaining new water cooler stands out on the golf course. Several things delayed the process, but now the process is complete, and the new water coolers will last for a long time.

We started this process back in the winter of 2019, with the construction of the first 4 coolers. But then the virus hit and things came to a standstill. Not only was water cooler construction not a priority, early in the pandemic, it was not clear whether it was safe to even use the water coolers. In fact, the water coolers were removed from the course for several weeks.

Eventually, as the dust settled and more information became available, we were able to slowly and safely bring staff back to work. However, for a long time, minimum maintenance was still our goal. It was not until mid-summer when construction resumed and was completed on the initial water coolers. Those first 4 made it onto the course in July.

Now the remaining four stations have been replaced: the transition at #3 and #15, #6 tee, #17 tee, and the Driving Range tee. All stations now match and are very durable.

There was not a rush to try and finish these last four water coolers, but it is nice to cross the project off the list.

Etiquette Reminder of the Month

Please be careful not to damage the lip of the cup when retrieving your ball after putting out.

 

Also, as part of a Golf Committee initiative to improve course etiquette, we have included links to videos teaching proper on course etiquette. Please take a moment to watch:
