Winter Time Is Here

It has been a while since I have put a blog post up. Since we completed the heavy dirt work on the project on #5 things have been a little colder and quieter around the maintenance facility. "Old Man Winter" has made his presence known over the past couple of weeks. Temperatures have been very cold and the wind has been blowing at a pretty steady pace. There have been a few days where the sun has been out and day time temperatures have gotten into the the 50's but otherwise things have been very cold. The ground has been frozen ever since we completed the dirt work on #5. We are still waiting for some warmer weather and the ground to thaw out so that we can get the final grade work done and get the sod laid. This past week we have been out grinding the tree stumps where we removed trees this winter. Our plan is to grind the stumps and then back fill in the holes with dirt and sod them this spring. Also we have been doing some more annual equipment repairs and finishing up on the painting of the tee markers and cart post for the course. Once the weather breaks we are going to be going like crazy finishing up on #5 and starting a new exciting project that I will inform everyone of soon! You will just have to keep checking back on the blog to find out what it is. It is going to be a huge improvement for the club and will really help everyone with their short games! Have a great weekend!
