Opening Day for the driving range! Sans snow of course. I took this picture last weekend and really liked it. I'm afraid we haven't seen the last of the white stuff this year.
Friday, after the dusting of snow melted off we spent our time preparing the range for this weekend.
Today, we are sodding the new tee surrounds. Next week will seed the surface and begin growing them in.
Enjoy use of the range and please hit off mats. Our soil temperatures are not ready for growth to recuperate from the damage.
The current range netting is almost five years old. It has been a great sturdy net. However since the installation, the west poles have begun to move. This week we have Judge Netting back to Vail to adjust the poles and return them to their original position for a strong and safe net. There is not much room around the practice areas for bracing the poles so we are having to get creative. We reclaimed a telephone pole to use to brace the southwest pole. As you can see in the first picture that pole had a severe lean. We are forced to install the brace on the other side cart path, but there is plenty of clearance for the guide wires. The northwest pole will be addressed today.
