Big Melt

Temperatures have started to warm up significantly and the snow has started to melt away. It is going to take a lot of sunshine and some time to get the golf course playable due to the snow cover that still remains. My best estimation as of right now is for at the earliest a late Wednesday or early Thursday for the course to be open for play however this can change depending on how we progress today and tomorrow with the weather conditions. The areas where the snow has melted are extremely wet with standing water in many places due to the ground still being frozen and the water not having anywhere to go. Hopefully this improves over the day today as the ground should continue to thaw out and start absorbing the much needed moisture. The team is going to be busy today working on clearing snow off some of the lingering cart paths, continue washing and waxing equipment, installing stone along cart path edges, changing cups and tee markers on the course, and general cleanup of limbs and debris around the course. I will get out and take some photos today and show the course and where we stand as far as how the snow melt is progressing. I will try update the blog with photos throughout the day.
