TEES
New Tee Construction
I was impressed with the new tee boxes on the 8th hole. The tee boxes are establishing well with no major concerns outside of the soil interface or layer that is associated with the sod used to establish the tees. They tee surfaces should be core aerated with 1/2 inch hollow tine in the coming weeks when weather conditions are not too stressful. Try to complete the core aeration again in mid-summer when weather conditions permit and repeat the process again in late summer and fall. The cores can be processed and dragged back into the surface. Continue to topdress the tee surfaces monthly through the season to maintain firm and stable surfaces.

There were still concerns with the playability of the greenside bunker on the 10th hole. The concern there deals with the actual design of the bunker. There are two options to improve the playability of this bunker. The first is to try to create firmer sand conditions so that golf balls more likely hit the sand flashed slopes and roll into the base of the bunker. This will involve redistributing the sand to create a more shallow depth. The more shallow depth (1–2 inches) of sand will remain more moist and should be firmer. The second is to redesign the bunker to reduce or even eliminate the sand-faced slope especially on the back of the bunker and that is of most concern to the golfers. The sand-faced slope might also be replaced with turf. The best recommendation I can provide is to revisit this sand bunker with your golf course architect who should be able to come up with a softer design program that will create a more flat-floored bunker and reduce where the ball could embed or remain. Finally, the other option is to learn to play the difficult shot off of the back slope of the bunker.
We also discussed the impacts of the greenside bunker on the 10th green complex. Sand accumulation from bunker plants has increased the severity of the contour along the apron and perimeter of the green. This has created a more severe slope towards the center of the green, which has reduced some of the cupping areas and certainly impacted surface drainage. This does not appear to impact the condition of the green at this point. The best means to address this would be to lift the sod off of the green and to reduce the sand accumulation closer to what the original green contours are believed to
At Nudgee Beach, erosion was found to have occurred on the edges of the mangrove forest and along the mudflat shorelines. Erosion is typically influenced by natural factors and occurs when pieces of weathered rock or soil are moved – typically by wind and water – from one place to another. Shorelines with lots of sediment and sand are more inclined to be effected by erosional progression. Erosion may also be provoked and accelerated by human interference. For example, if the decision to clear trees and plants from an area is made, erosion is likely to occur as the root systems of plants work to hold the soil in place. If these root systems are removed and erosion does occur, environmental conditions – such as; landslides and flooding – are more likely to take place. Erosion may also cause other plants to tip over, have their underground roots exposed and damaged and contribute to the pollution of local waters; as a result of mud and soil runoff [26]. Erosion at Nudgee Beach was likely to have been influenced by natural factors; however, the development and extension of the Kedron Brook golfing course may contribute to the acceleration of erosional processes and further damage the mangrove
From the back tees, the 18-hole championship course measures 6,855 yards, with a stunning island green on 10. Its’ well-maintained greens and a fun layout make it well worth the greens fee (usually under $30 in the summer), which includes complimentary balls at the range and a GPS-equipped golf cart. For a different golfing experience, try Pinebrook Ironwood Golf Course. It’s short, which makes it great for walking if you’re visiting in the winter, but it’s full of water features which makes for a fun, little
A unique challenge to this project was its timeframe. With only a 10-week window to completion, there was no room for error. The 38,000-square foot site was amended with new soil and over 26,000 square feet of sod was installed. Equipment structure, surge tank, hardscape paving, and lighting was also added. Site amenities like restrooms, outdoor showers, shade structures, for attentive parents, as well as a landscaped picnic area with fountains
Wind and waves affect Glenelg as they set up a northward drift of sand along the coast and this type of sand movement is known as littoral drift. During coastal storms, huge quantities of sand are eroded and this does damage to near shore, beach and sand dune areas. Glenelg is not considered to be a stable as beach as many others are. Seagrass loss and seabed instability that affect Glenelg is that a third of seagrass meadows along the coasts of Glenelg has died since 1950 and poor water quality resulting from the stormwater runoff and effluent disposal has most likely been the initial cause. When there are gaps in the seagrass meadows the sand below the meadow edge can be eroded by the waves and this will in turn increase the rate of seagrass loss and make it difficult for plants to recolonise the seafloor, even though the water quality has been improved. Sea levels affect Glenelg as parts of Glenelg are being subsided as a result of climate change and a relative sea level rise of one to two millimetres per year has been recorded for Glenelg. “As a result of the loss of sand from the seabed, the level of the seabed has steadily become up to one metre deeper and the wave energy reaching our beaches has increased.” (Adelaide’s Living Beaches Strategies,
The loss of Louisiana coastal land is one of the most major factors in our environment today. Louisiana has already loss 1,880 square miles of land in the past eight decades. This problem is effecting the state funding to help solve the problem before the state lose more coastal land. Human disturbance has had a massive impact on the balance of wetland growth and decline. (Wilson, 2013). In order to stop this situation the state needs to have a stronger structural protection for the coast line. (Wilson, 2013).
I take in the sightings of the beautiful scenery around me, I am alone and there isn't any other group in my sight. It's just me and the blue skies, broad gorgeous pine and oak, and the newly bloomed zoysia lying below my feet that has been resurrected from the dead months of winter. Every inch of my soundings is like a tradition reborn once again as it is restored to it's former glory. The course is in prime condition for the busy summer that awaits it and as I stand on the imitating tee of the Par 4 15, inspecting every inch of my surroundings, I plan my approach to the important task at hand. I can feel the cool comforting wind rush past my face from the North at a pretty decent rate of about 5-10 mph, on and off like almost always out here
You plug holes in the green and fill them with sand so the roots of the grass can breathe you then gather the plugs for new tee boxes.

In an attempt to combat erosion and interest more people in visiting this area an ongoing project has been implemented along Long Beach and Nutgrove Beach. The project aims to reduce the rate of erosion and make the area a desirable place for people to visit for many years to come. One of the most recent additions
Paradise Palm Golf Club, a well established golf club in Cairns, has planned to expand its operations by building a brand new golf course in Townsville. As the success of the golf course largely depends on the extent to which the users find it enjoyable, Future designers now face the challenge of designing an 18-hole Golf course that fits within 42 acres, that has a maximum enjoyability index. Based on the enjoyability index associated with each type of hole in the golf course, we should pick the
In most cases, there is a flat green path between the hole and the player, but there has yet to be a golfer proficient enough to utilize that fairway every time, requiring the player to cope with the treacherous obstacles that lie in wait for every errant shot.
Having seen how the Jewish minority is occupying more than half of the main positions in Hollywood, and the effect of movies on the perception of viewers. The next chapter will be devoted to the analysis of the representation of women in the Hollywood cinema, and provide for case studies for the sake of emphasizing the presented material. The impact of movies and their effect on the audiences will be as well linked with those representations of women, as already concluded to be of great effect on culture creation, impact on morality, and on the gender
Ancient Greece was somewhat like the United States today as it was comprised of many various cities. Some of these cities were much more important than others; also like the United States. Washington, D.C. is the single most important city within our country whereas Athens was, and still is, the most important city in Greece. As we may have a few similar things in common, ancient Greek life was also very different than the average day American’s.
