Wisdom from The Action Wisdom In Action

I received an email update from Bill Franklin on the progress of the new golf course at Thousand Acres:

"The front nine should be completed this fall with a planned opening summer of ’09 with the back nine to follow the next year. Golf holes 3,4,5,6, and 9 have been sodded around the greens, bunkers, and tees. There are a couple pics of the 8 bridges that cross the streams and wetlands in Thousand Acres….as a side note our wetland impacts are zero except for the bridge posts. Fairway and rough seeding is ongoing. As many of you know we have been talking about the golf course for 15 years or so with actual work on the ground the last three years…..clearing and grubbing, moving dirt, installing golf course drainage and irrigation, building roads and stormwater structures, building the irrigation pond and all the other stuff that goes into building a golf course. Three weeks ago the first tractor trailer load of sod arrives and in three hours the ground starts to look like a golf course….remarkable contrast."
