With the warmer weather, we have ramped up activities on and around the course! It’s like going 0-60mph in 3 seconds! It feels sooooooo good to be out side again - walking around on the grass rather than through the cold, wet snow!

So what have we been up to?

We have been concentrating our efforts on clean-up and a few projects. Cleaning up has included removing storm debris from the playing areas, getting the gardens ready for spring, and cutting up the countless branches that tore from the trees during the February 6 blizzard. It will take us a few more weeks to finish the storm clean up.

I have visited other courses in the area and they too have suffered significant tree damage that is similarly unprecedented.

Projects that we are undertaking at this time are: making repairs to the parking lot at the driving range, running new electric lines to the #15 - #16 tunnel for the sump pump, adding drainage to 10 fairway (pictured above) , and setting up a martin house on # 10.

We are doing quite a lot, and there is still so much more to do! In a little more than a week from now we will be aerating and fertilizing and prepping for the summer!

The year is gearing up fast!
