Hey folks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Great news from the government this last Friday about the lessening restrictions and the our ability to open in a limited capacity.\u00a0If the weather cooperates we should have the course open by mid may in a reasonable shape.\u00a0Up until now we have been running with a light crew. Aside from me and Mike our Mechanic working full time, we had also had Assistant Superintendent Lincoln and Lead Operator Vaughn working part time.\u00a0Obviously the uncertainty of the opening and trying to maintain social distance had left us in a state of limbo so the nod from the government came a good time.\u00a0On Monday of next week we will be bringing more staff in and, with some certainty, continue to prep the course for play this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the my last post early April, the temperatures have been slow to rise.\u00a0By comparison the weather was actually better in late April last year then this year.\u00a0However with less damage, its clear that conditions certainly be miles ahead of 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As far as the greens conditions its looks like 11, 12 and 13 took the brunt of the damage from the winter.\u00a0 There are some other areas\u00a0on the greens that have suffered but the most wide spread were the North facing greens where\u00a0 the snow and ice didn’t melt completely.\u00a0In anticipation of some ice damage we purchased some special seeding heads that attach to our 3250 Toro Triplex.\u00a0Here is a video of its simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
