The Pyramids. Machu Picchu. The Eiffel Tower. The Rangers Bullpen. The Taj Mahal. The Golden Gate Bridge. LCCC #5.
Yes, thanks to the good folks at TXDOT, our #5 tee box will soon join the pantheon of the greatest construction projects in the history of civilization. While we stand in awe of the Pyramids and marvel at the grandeur of Machu Picchu, the ancient Egyptians and Incas could not have created a wonder such as the #5 Tee Box due to the challenges associated with more modern day construction projects.
Overcoming these challenges are the brave laborers from TXDOT, who in the face of perilous working conditions (i.e., errant tee shots on #4; "roach coach" cuisine; malodorous port-a-johns roasting in the sun) apply cutting-edge construction methods to shape earth and water into our new tee box.
Work is now underway on the brick retaining wall that will surround the new tee box, with boat loads of bricks coming up through the Mandalay Canal each day. These efforts can be seen in the attached video, which Joe Wisdorf captured with a hidden video camera housed in a small bird house behind the 4th green. As you can see, it's dangerous work, indeed.
