Birr Golf Club - 2 green remodel

I am delighted to be associated with the remodel of two green complexes at Birr GC. I have been a fan of Birr GC since my childhood and in fact, won the Midland Boys championship there some 26 years ago (when I could play). The two green complexes at the 7th and 12th are old soil based greens and there are many issues with them...including the green complexes holding water...see photo...
I have designed the green complexes to shed water from the play areas and 2,500 cub.m. of fill was imported to the green site to raise the profile of the green. The green is constructed to USGA specification. The complex is currently being returfed and the grow in will begin immediately.
Hopefully the members will be back on the new green complexes for the 2009 golfing season.
