Finally Golfing!!

We finally were able to get some players out on the golf course on Tuesday afternoon after the snow and ice melted. Today looks like it is going to be pretty nice with temperatures in the 50's with a strong breeze. The maintenance team has been busy over the last couple of days finishing up some of our projects around the golf course. We are continuing to work on finishing the huge drainage project on #17 fairway. This area has been difficult due to the amount of shade and moisture that is in the area. Cold temperatures have been causing this area to be really slow at thawing out thus slowing down the progress. I hope that we will get this project buttoned up in the next week. Also we have been doing a lot of clean up of limbs and debris that have blown down over the past day or so with the high winds. Several trees have been effected by the drought over the last year or so and they have some dead wood up in the tops that comes down in these high winds. Starting on Monday we are going to have a tree company out here starting to address some of these trees getting the dead wood out and doing some overall maintenance pruning on our trees. This is really going to help out the health of the trees and the overall look of the golf course. We are also going to be busy next week grinding the stumps that are left from all the dead trees that we have removed over the winter. I hope everyone has a great weekend and is able to get out and enjoy the sunshine today!
