We recently finished another set of stairs on the ninth tee box.  The old ones were made of railroad ties which were sinking and separating.  The last thing we want is an injury to a member or guest due to repairable problem like dangerous stairs.  The crew took no time at all ripping out the old ones and prepping the ground for framing.





The day of the pour was July 11th, the first closed Monday in nearly three months.  We made the most of it by fertilizing the greens and green surrounds, flushing with 2 hours of irrigation the previous night, contracting two tree crews for removal of dead and dying trees, and we aerified all the approaches.  All in all, it was a very productive day.



The rear set of stairs on the ninth tee are seldom used and will be removed in the very near future.  After that, we can check this project off the to-do list and move on to the next location.  The next set of stairs to rebuild is the corner stairs on the 4th tee box.  This will be accomplished in-house by a couple of our skilled crew members that are also accomplished carpenters.

Like most of our projects, we intend to find a long term solution for a temporary problem.  These new stairs will be around for a very long time and without needing any upkeep, unlike the old ones.
