amazing project! Everyone knows how beautiful Colorado is, but who knew(I didn't) that in the middle of a city as large as Denver, you could feel so serene. Tom Doak and his crew have done a spectacular job of designing a golf course that compliments the native landscape of Colorado right in the heart of the city. Not only are the views phenomenal, but I think that the future golfers are going to be amazed at how close to nature they are going to feel during a round at CommonGround.
Well despite some challanges with the wind this week, the team was able to get holes #14, #15, the rest of #6, and half of #7 seeded. The irrigation is complete on all but three holes. Tracy was able to put a mow on the 5th green, and Renaissance has continued to move forward with the preparation of the greens and features for the holes that will be seeded next. Next week the team plans to finish up seeding #7 and move on to #3. Hole #1 has had the weeds removed, so at least now I can see "golf" and not just "construction" from my office window.
Finally, the feedback from the CJGA staff was nothing short of unbridled delight after having the opportunity to tour the routing of the short course. They are absolutely exstatic about having a home course for their programs, and can't wait until they host the first 10 & under event here.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. I hope yours will be as enjoyable as mine..... a day of watching the US Open with my kids!
