Meredith: Well I’m looking around here and this course is in phenomenal shape. Your maintenance crew they’re right next to us working on the putting green. Now they’ve been working 24/7 around the clock to get this course back in tour shape quality. I know we had a little cool winter with mother nature but tell us about all the exciting things you’re doing here at Grand Dunes.
Joe: Yeah, so this winter we obviously had some cold weather issues. Currently the course is in fantastic shape. We were able to do some sodding on some of our greens so they’re back to tour quality. We also had some work done on some of the tee boxes and some of the fairways and roughs. Brett Whitson has done a fantastic job getting the course back into shape.
Meredith: Yeah, well it looks great so definitely no signs of a cold winter here.
Joe: No we’re very proud of the condition it is in today and we look forward to having a great fall.
Meredith: Yeah, and I noticed behind me is the beautiful clubhouse. And y’all did a little upgrade on it.
Joe: Yeah we were closed for aerification this summer. We were able to do a total paint job around the exterior as well as some changes to color. It’s just really good right now.
