For those of you that have not been out to play golf this week, we have begun to rebuild the 7th tee. Before we started moving any dirt, we had a couple eucalyptus trees removed on the hill to the right of the tee, and a few others trimmed to get some additional sunlight to the area of the new tee location. A temporary mat was installed at 97 yards from the green to use while the new tee is being built.
On Monday we removed the sod from the area and began rototilling and leveling the new tee area. We hope to finish this process this week, next week we will start hauling in a four inch sand base for the sod. Nest we will level and compact the sand, reinstall irrigation heads and sod the following week.
When the new tee is completed it will be similar to the tee on #6. It will be one level, the same height as the curb on the cartpath, slightly larger than #6. Teeing distances for the new tee will be 112 yellow, 118 for the red, 122 white, and 132 for the blue and black tees.
I will give more updates as the process continues, we are planning on opening the new tee in 4 to 6 weeks.
Below is one final picture of the tee before we started construction.
