Range Tee Hitting Mats

We officially broke the record for the snowiest winter ever in SE Michigan today with the 3.1" of snow we received overnight.  The new snow hasn't slowed us down though, and today we began excavating the area where we will be installing new TurfHound range mats.  These mats will be used in times of bad weather or outings when the real turf can't, or shouldn't be used to preserve the real turf for member enjoyment. Snow was cleared from the range tee surface today and the staff is currently sod cutting the existing turf off the tee to prepare for soil removal.  Once the soil is removed, a base of stone is laid and graded so a concrete pad can be poured. After the concrete has cured, the mats will be installed. The mat installation is currently scheduled during the middle of May.

Excavating 10" of soil. 6" base of 21AA crushed stone will be installed followed by 4" of mesh reinforced concrete. This provides the solid base for the new TurfHound hitting mats
