A New Cart Path

Cart path is done! After a few days of drying the base and prepping, Friday marked another high note for happenings at Vail Golf Club. This is not asphalt and not concrete, it is called Sta-lok. It is a native road base and sand mixture with polymers to bind together and make a path material. It has a much softer feel than the two aforementioned products. The path looks and feels more like a trail rather than a road. Sta-lok is also flexible, with the frost heave from the winter, this material will easily fit back into place if there is any cracking. It was installed with an asphalt machine for the smoothest surface. A little raking and grooming was involved as the material would harden. Finally a sheet was placed down and rolled with a heavy duty drum. We are excited to see the results when the season gets under way on the front nine.
Today, LUI continued to prep for laying the sod down this coming week. If Mother Nature is kind to us we'll have it grassed beginning Tuesday, hopefully fully done by Thursday. I will wait to see how it comes out to determine the limits of play.
