I want to take a moment to update everyone on the ongoing projects at Heart of America. As I'm sure anyone who has played the course over the last few weeks will have noticed, the bunker project is well under way. Many of the bunkers that are in the flood plane will be removed and the bunkers that will remain have been lined and rebuilt with new angular sand.
 |
| This state of the art liner is as good as it gets and will make bunker maintenance much more manageable for our small crew. |
 |
| This is where #7 bunker used to be, as well as where it has been moved green-side. The shaper we have had out on the course the last couple weeks has done a great job reshaping and filling bunkers around the course. |
 |
The River #3 will be reduced to just one bunker and the other to are being contoured and filled.
|
During those cold, frosty mornings, Sam and I have also made some new signage and targets for the driving range.
 |
| We built this sign and installed it by the front gate so that right when you pull into the course you can see which areas of our facility are open for play that day. This will be useful when we are performing weekly maintenance on the driving range or if one of the 9 hole courses is closed due to flooding or other conditions. |
 |
| The new targets we built with metal frames should hold up much better to golf balls and the elements. We should have these in place on the range shortly. |
The weather is getting much better and prime golfing season is right around the corner. We look forward to seeing everyone out at Heart of America Golf Course this year.
