Twisted Oaks Golf Club continues construction on its new clubhouse.
The project took a major step forward with the removal of an old concrete pool shell. The thick reinforced concrete had stood in the way of previous development.
Energy Services Company donated equipment for its removal.
In its place, Twisted Oaks will build a practice putting green that will serve as an area to improve one’s putting – a focal point for the clubhouse and the site of many evening competitions.
Vertical construction of the clubhouse starts this week, and there are plans to use the covered pavilion for the Bowie High School Jackrabbit Invitational on March 9-10.
