UPDATE

Many things have happened since our last update, and the January meeting. It was nice to have many of you attend our meeting at Lot B-74. We have been installing irrigation, and the process is going well. All the major mainlines 12-inch and 10-inch are in ground and blocked. The laterals, sprinkler heads, and wiring has been completed on #1, #9,#2 and #8 of the Emerald course as well as the complete practice facility and practice greens. We have completed an amazing amount of irrigation in a short period of time with the remainder of the Emerald and the Ruby 9 not posing near as many problems and obstacles as the beginning with large pipe, road and waterway crossings and vast areas such as the practice range to irrigate. Final grade has also been achieved on these areas and the first preparation of soil for sprigging done with the second being done just prior to grassing. We will continue to irrigate as the weather permits.

Unfortunately last night April 4th it rained at the property, extremely early but most of the locals think the rains will be early, I hope not, however we are preparing for it in any case. Additional rock in some areas to prevent washing, structures to hold silt and adding to cart paths so we can maintain when wet will help us when the rains come. Also the entire holding pond systems on each 9 have been completed, and we are constructing the spillways for each pond which will allow for the coming heavy rains with little or no damage to our structures.

The organization and acquisition of tools and equipment for the maintenance building continues. Hopefully we will have electricity soon. Also the planning and plans for the clubhouse are nearly complete. The design of structurals, plumbing and electrical have been completed and we are in the process of selecting materials. The timeline for construction start of the clubhouse will be shortly after the first 9 holes (the Emerald) is open the end of February beginning of March next year, with completion to coincide with the opening of the Ruby 9. In the interim we are exploring options for a temporary or may construct and use what will be the facility for the pools and tennis courts and use that building as the temporary clubhouse.

We have been delayed by the lack of timely transfers of owed funds and I believe that problem has been resolved. With any luck during the rainy season will continue to make great progress toward opening the course, continuing with construction of tennis courts, pools, condos and additional golf.
