Wet paint!

Wet paint. Wet turf. Wet ground. Wet everything most of the last 10 or 14 days. While still warm, we haven't had great working conditions for the golf course in a while.

We have been productive though! We got a lot done in the maintenance building. Moved the job board, moved and rewired some wire connections. Did some drywall repairs and repainted the entire shop. We also helped removing the rug in the restaurant and have done some painting in the clubhouse. So while we haven't made much ground outside, we have knocked some work out none the less.

Today is another warm one. We are raking green side bunkers this morning and are hoping to get to cups later on. We tried to do this yesterday but things were still too frozen from the cold snap we had.

Spring isn't too far off!

The winter that never was ...

I cannot remember a winter like this one. Will we pay for it over the next month and a half? I hope not.

I think we have made the most of the weather here in the agronomy department. We raked green side traps on both courses on Friday. Saturday we raked green sides and changed cups on both courses. Monday we raked all the traps and changed cups on both courses. Tuesday we put the cherry on top by cutting tees on both courses! The main purpose behind that mow was to clean up the divots and debris that had accumulated on the tees but we also ended up dumping the buckets three or four times per course. So it was a worthwhile.

The 10 day forecast looks like more of the same. So hopefully you can get out and enjoy it!
