He <br />noted that the new putting green came out nicely and that the wells that were put in 1 ½ years <br />ago are working well. <br /> <br />The new irrigation system is projected to be constructed in the fall with a start date in October. <br />The contract has been awarded to Lawhorn Irrigation. <br /> <br />This year we have a new three-year golf cart lease. Due to many requests we ordered carts with <br />roofs. The management company has been receiving a lot of positive feedback about how good <br />rd <br />the course looks. Twelve new maple trees have been placed on the right on the 3 hole. The <br />rd <br />rough on the 3 is being moved toward the left. The sand traps on #3 were finished in May. <br /> <br />th <br />New England Golf and the Town have also received positive feedback on the 9 hole with the <br />thth <br />cart path on the other side of the net now. There is also a new cart path between the 5 and 6 <br />thth <br />tees. The students from Minuteman Tech did a great job with the landscaping on the 4 and 6 <br />holes. They rebuilt a retaining wall and stairs. <br /> <br />Parking continues to be a problem. Dick Lakutis, a landscape architect, was hired to recommend <br />a plan for increased parking. One consideration is moving the maintenance shed over to the <br />woods next to #1 and 3 and then reconfiguring the parking lot. <br /> <br />One thing New England Golf would like to do is to get the course re-rated. <br /> <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
