The Country Club of Virginia documented its year-long golf course renovation through a series of time-lapse photographs that were featured on the club’s Web site. During the golf course’s renovation—which involved moving 170,000 cubic yards of dirt, constructing a hill on the fairly flat course, adding a modern target practice area, and transforming the course from a par-69 to a par-70—a camera was secured in place high atop the clubhouse, and programmed to take a picture every two hours. Members were then able to go online to see the entire transformation in “real time.” William Harris, General Manager, says the club also made good use of the time-lapse photos at its annual meeting. “It was a nice presentation,” says Harris. “Having lived with the project every day, no one really appreciated the magnitude of the undertaking until [its development] could be seen every few hours through the photographs.”
