Bunker Work, Bridge Work, Pond Work

We had a lot going on this week at Lansing Country Club.  Along with mowing, cup changing and bunker raking, we worked on bunker renovation, bridge work and pond clean up.  We had some member help and a golf pro helping with a bobcat.
Steve Sevald help with removing of sand in the bunker on #7. 

Scott used his skills with a bobcat to remove sand and dump in his trailer.

Jose and the crew hand dug the trench for the drainage pipe.  Jesus and I installed pipe and back filled with pea gravel.  I ordered sand for next week, so it should be playable soon.

Ed Follmar used some spare time this week to seal coat the bridge.

Steve Mayerak and Gene Eenigenburg helped clean up the cattails that Steve Sevald pulled out of the pond.


The old bunker between 13 and 14 has a big change this year.  It's no longer a free drop if you land in it.  It is now marked as a hazard with red stakes.  You can hit out of it, but can't ground your club.
The other option is assess yourself a 1-stroke penalty and take a drop. The drop can be taken within two club lengths from the point where the ball crossed the margin of the hazard, no nearer the hole. Or a golfer can go to the opposite side of the lateral water hazard and drop at a spot on the hazard's margin that is equidistant from the hole.  I'm not a rules expert, so any clarification should be directed to Scott.
