Bridge Work
The entryy and exit points at the foundry have started to erode over the last few years. We have decided to fix these areas by cutting the old asphalt out. We installed re bar and gravel to the areas that were torn out. We will be adding concrete that will be 6 inches thick.

Drainage at #14 along fairway
A drainage system has been installed along the right side of 14 fairway. This will help produce better turf conditions along the tree line by allowing the turf to dry out and not stay saturated.
Perforated pipe has been installed with pea gravel surrounding the pipe. This will allow for rapid water penetration into the pipe. |

This will be a gravel sump of 10 ft by 5ft with a depth of 4 ft. Perforated pipe will be installed through the gravel sump. |
Propane Mower Use at the Foundry
A propane cylinder with 8 gallons of propane has been added to one of the mowers. The research is showing that for every hour of service we will use 1 gallon of propane. The key to this is cleaner burning fuel. This is good for the environment along with being better for the operation of the machine. One of the other key factors for doing this is the lower cost of the propane verses gasoline. The price of propane is about a $1.70 cheaper than a gallon of gas.
