LCityof Louisville Golf Course Advisor). Board Tour Notes June 18 2014 Page 3 of 4 COLORADO • SINCE 1878 homeowners along the 12th and 8th hole to insure everyone understands the plans prior to construction after Kevin, David and City staff meet. Hole #14: We viewed progress on the irrigation system. The weather station has been moved from the Maintenance Area to a spot between the 14th and 18th fairways so readings are more indicative of conditions in the turfed area. Ken talked with Chris Bradford about screening in the weather station with cyclone fencing to prevent vandalism and errant golf shots damaging the equipment. Hole 15: The tees are significantly improved for elevation and alignment. The new pot bunker at the inner corner of the dogleg will make the hole significantly more interesting as well as the new bunkers on the outside edge of the dogleg. The multiple tiers on the green will present a good challenge. The current right greenside bunker is being converted to a collection area cut at rough height with a new bunker added on the left side of the green Hole 16: The tees are being elevated and lowered to improve sightlines and allowing more play from the upper level as well as providing an additional front tee. The changes to the fairway bunkers make for a narrow and challenging landing area. Moving the green makes it much more visible from the tees and is nicely sloped. The berms and trees and irrigation along HWY 36 will make this hole even more attractive from both the course and the turnpike and will be paid for by the highway contractor. Hole 17: The cart path is widened and curbed at the tee box. Recontouring to the left of the green will help stop balls bouncing into the creek. Hole 18: The new back tee will provide a challenge. The new bunker at the outside of the dogleg provides a good target from the tee and moving the cart path inside the tree line avoids the current problem of balls hitting the cart path. Other discussion: Restroom: depending on available funds, Kevin Norby suggested that we run the utilities to the planned restroom and complete it at some point in the future. In any event, we expect to have a storm shelter in place. As an alternative, Parks and Recreation are installing a Vault Restroom at Harper Lake and we can evaluate how it is accepted. LU pointed out that running utilities to the planned restroom would have been much easier before the irrigation laterals were put in the ground. Joe expressed concern that LU knew the bathroom potential location and he did not want to incur any additional costs because the irrigation lines are now in place.
