New forward tee on 13

Word has it that the grounds crew was in on the weekend, apparently taking advantage of the mild weather.  As you can see, we dug up the much-too-small forward tee on 13 and will be replacing it with a new deck that will be large enough for both sets of forward tee markers.

We have used this technique in the past where the ground is excavated down 8-12 inches and we haul (or push, in this case) all the accumulated branches, leaves, sod and old flowers.  Then this material is covered over with the soil and a layer of screened loam.
