Abstract/Contents:Describes renovations at Hermitage Country Club in Manakin-Sabot, Virginia. Discusses problems that John Haley, Eric Spurlock, Keith Fellenstein and other crew members encountered when renovating both the Manakin and Sabot courses, including eighty inches of rain in one season." States that "it became obvious early on to both Haley and Eric Spurlock, superintendent of the Manakin course at Hermitage, that they weren't going to meet the August 1 [2006] deadline for sprigging 30 acres of bermudagrass on the fairways, so they shifted to Plan B: L-93 bentgrass." Briefly profiles Hermitage Country Club. States that "no sooner had the dust settled on the 2001 Sabot course renovation than the club decided to embark on a total renovation of the Manakin course, the remaining original Ault 18." Discusses how the crew was able to complete both projects, stating that "it all comes down to the team...there's a continual collaboration and constant exchange of ideas, regardless of which course one is assigned to. Everyone pulled more than their weight for this project, and the membership was very patient."
