Golf course progress outlined by Tony Olsen With the arrival of Spring comes the return of the color of green to Juab Valley. So it has on the new Golf Course, lying immediately East of Nephi City. During the course of the winter, many things have happened to the Golf Course. At the present time, many projects are in full swing, with some reaching their final stages. This report will attempt to give a brief n of what has happened and what will continue to happen on the project. The new Golf Course is funded primarily with Federal money administered through the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. In early March, an amendment to the then existing contract was written, giving an additional $30,000.00 to be used in the completion of the project. Along with the amendment notification came a check for $18,640.00. This allowed the recreation department to fully reimburse the Juab County General Fund for the overrun printed in earlier financial reports. In short, we have money in the bank and the Golf Course has not cost Juab County residents any more than the $4,000 budgeted in 1973 or the $3,500 budgeted in 1974 for recreation. If all goes as expected, this too will be reimbursed. There is a new block structure on the east side of the course. This is the maintenance building. It will house mowing equipment and other maintenance tools, as well as fertilizer, sprinklers, and tools. It will also serve as c.n office for Lynn Hunter, the greens superintendent. There is a new power line bordering the east side of the course. This will serve the clubhouse, the pressure booster pump, and the maintenance building. A temporary clubhouse is presently under construction at Rancho Trailers. It will be a fourteen by sixty foot mobile home unit and will have two restrooms, a business office, a snack bar ar.d a pro until the shop. The mobile home will set permanent structure is built. During the winter months, approximately three hundred trees were moved onto the southern and western parts of the Course. Some 1,000 more trees, purchased with money donated by the Nephi Lions Club, will be added to the landscaping of the course. The trees were purchased from the State Forestry Board. The seedlings are of Lombardi poplar; Austrian, Scotch, and Ponderosa pine; run-dow- - white and green ash; Eastern red cedar; mutiflora rose; sand cherry; and black locust trees. These trees should not only add to the beauty of the Golf Course, but also have a great ecological and esthetic impact. The tee shelters for the first five holes are in place, as well as the tee signs for all nine holes. The Recreation Board has appointed a committee to solicit donations for the tee shelters. Nelson Jones and Gary Tolboe are heading the committee, and they will sell you or your group tee shelters for $150.00 A plaque, with your name engraved on it, will be permanently mounted to the bench of that shelter. Grass has been planted on the entire course, but as yet the grass at the north end has not germinated. Blurgrasses will not germinate completely until a ground temperature of 60 degrees is reached and sustained for at least a week. On the whole, those involved with the development of the Golf Course are very pleased with its progress. They wish to share their enthusiasm with the public and invite the public to bring clubs and hit a few balls or just walk around and see what is happening. We will try this on an experimental basis, and if everyone reresponsible mansponds in a ner, this open house will continue. We would encourage everyone to submit name entires, in the naming contest, and become eligible for the prizes to be given away. The presentation of the prizes is planned for the June 1 opening of the course. To be eligible for the contest, you must be a resident of Juab County and be more than 10 years of age. Participants may submit any number of entries for as many names as they like. There are entry boxes at Allens Food Fair Market, Cowan's Cafe, First Security Bank, and For-seVariety Store. To enter, place your name, address, telephone number, the date, and the name for the golf course that you have selected on an entry blank or a plain piece of paper. The contest closes May 18 and the winners will be announced of May 30. in the Times-New- s A municipal golf course, as an addition to the community, should be listed with the City park, swimming pool and the fairgrounds. Were sure that the completed Golf Course will serve as a recreational addition to our growing community, something that we can all be proud of. Our new Golf Course will represent Nephi very well. e, ys |
