New Bonifay Championship Golf Course and Country Club

[Bogie Shooter]

This months VMail has an excellant beginning video of the construction of Bonifay. I believe this is the first time TV has shown the construction of any golf course and it should be fun to watch the development.

Thanks. Will be fun to watch the progression. Driving along 466A now you can start to see holes taking shape. Places where dirt is being moved for greens, tees or fairway bunkers.

Almost looks like pipes painted red on top are tee boxes, pipes painted green are greens?? Just a guess on my part....

BTW, the link worked for me...

Good video! I drive past there at least once a week to see the changes.

Last year I met Ken Ezell who is the Golf Course Architect of The Villages and is on the video. Needless to say I was very impressed with him. I was at the Orlando airport picking up a friend and a fellow saw my Villages logo on my shirt and he introduced himself. I am glad I met him we had a nice conservation while we were waiting on the baggage.

Check out the link below and you will find some of what is stated interesting.
