The New Year

Well 2012 is now here and I hope all had a safe and happy holiday season.  It has been a while since I have updated the blog, so I thought I would let everyone know what we have been doing this winter.  We used a couple of weeks to trim trees and even removed some dangerous ones throughout the course.  We still have some touch-ups to finish prior to spring.
The tallgrass has been cut down.  The grass has been so dry it even caught on fire
from the mower. 



This is the tallgrass between 15 and 17.  Funny, cause I told the fire chief I had put in
a request for a burn permit several years ago and they would not respond.    He told me to
contact him next year and they will help me with the prescribed burn.

We have begun work on the new #12 tee box.  I foresee this opening in the fall
of 2012.

Besides some seeding, fertilizations and other course duties, work is performed on
all equipment during the winter months.  This is the time of year when
all cutting units get broke down, rebuilt and grinded for a successful golf season.
This winter we also painted, added new cabinets and improved the interior
of the maintenance facility.
