Winter Work?

For all of my years in this business, I seem to get the question "What do you do all winter?" the most. It usually comes in one form or another, but you get the gist of it.

Most of the time my first answer to the question is..."It depends!" Last winter it seemed like we plowed snow for three months. This winter so far we have worked on drainage, charged the irrigation system to water greens and cut down several sick trees. Currently we are recharging the irrigation system again so that we can water fairways and tees when the weather warms up at the end of the week.

So far this winter has been extremely dry. Even when moisture has been forecasted, it hasn't amounted to much of anything. The "Big" storm just before Christmas barely got the ground wet. I am now left to nervously wait for Mother Nature to bring rain or snow to the course. It might be a long wait at the rate we are going!

Stay tuned as I learn and explore how this communication tool can help get information out to members more quickly. My goal is to update this site as much a spossible to keep members up-to-date on what is happening on the golf course.
