We also excavated and replaced approximately 520 tons of dirt where the new collars are now located. Our team also had to plug out the contamination of Celebration on the greens which took over 2,500 square plugs. Due to the extended work that was done over the 17 day closure, we had to push our first greens aerification to July 5 th. The aerification scheduled for August 1 st -4 th is still on schedule. In addition to our final aerification in August, we will begin bunker work and it will continue through the month of August. This will have minimal to no impact on the golfer experience.
