Jimmy Clay to Open Soon

       
Jimmy Clay golf is just around the corner! According to Kevin Gomillion, PGA Division Manager for the City of Austin Golf Division, Clay will open up for business on August 15th. So in a little over a week the "new look" of the course will be on display for all to see. It's an exciting
event that we are all looking forward to seeing. Much of the work was delayed by the May and June rains but the city has maintained their desire to complete the work on the course in as short a time as possible. Congratulations to the construction team!   
 Gomillion also stated in a letter to the ASGA, "We will not have any major opening ceremony.  Just want to get the course back open as soon as it is ready.  We completed the renovations to the driving range and planted on July 22nd.  We should have the range back open sometime in late September. Once we re-open Jimmy Clay, we will start work on the Roy Kizer putting green.   In addition, we will be working on the short course greens damaged in the flood.  We anticipate that work will take approximately 2 weeks for construction and about 8 weeks for the grow in."
