Winter Projects

While the latest round of frigged temperatures have slowed our progress a little, we have still been actively working on dead tree removals throughout the course.  This is a huge project and has required the majority of our resources over the last couple of weeks.  Besides tree work we have also been busy with equipment repair and maintenance with an emphasis on reel and bedknife sharpening and rebuilding.  

Future winter projects include:

-Removal of approximately 30 more dead trees

-Stump removals

-Addressing major engine issues with two of our maintenance vehicles

-Repair and maintenance of around 35 traction vehicles and maintenance vehicles

-Enlarging the putting surfaces by reducing the collar width.  This is to be achieved with a dormant mowing.

-Tying up loose ends on #1 drainage project and #13 drainage projects.

-Sod work around cart path edges

-Drainage work on #2 and #9 fairways

As you can see, we have a large list of issues that we would like to address before this upcoming season.  This list is only the tip of the iceberg in relation to what we would like to get done.  This can be extremely difficult when dealing with undesirable winter weather as well as reduced payroll and expense funds which is normal winter practice in the business of golf.  However, we will continue to work hard in an attempt to accomplish as much as possible prior to the return of warmer weather.
