be the golf pro at Sweetwater. Present CDI activity centers on construction of the three-story brick exterior clubhouse. The clubhouse is the focal point of all the activities offered by the club - golf, tennis, swimming, racquetball and physical fitness.

The scope of GDI’s work on the clubhouse will be the stud-framing, thermal insulation, drywall, partitioning and acoustical ceilings. Joe Gilligan, the project’s administrator and the estimator of the job says, “The key to this job will be the sequencing. There is a great deal of detailed woodwork and elaborate glass which will make our job move slower.” The project supervisor is Gary Hall.
