It looks like a couple days of rain. We were catching up with leaf mulch, but this rain will slow us down. The ashes are about done, oaks and cottonwood are starting, maples next and last the willows. Willow are the hardest to control because they don't blow or mulch nicely and keep coming until the snow flies.
Just a reminder, we are probably going to have frost by the weekend. Please check in with pro shop before going on the golf course. Walking on a green with frost can damage the turf. You will see foot prints for several weeks as it damages the crown of the plant. The next couple of days we will change fluid in the ball washers so they don't freeze. We will also bring in water coolers on cold nights. November 1, we'll start bringing in course benches and ball washers as we let staff go. Jose and I will keep Juan around until Thanksgiving. He is the most versitile staff member.
I would also like to introduce Butch Liptak. He will be our new mechanic. He has 26 years experience as a golf course mechanic at Beverly Country Club. He will work mostly mornings from 7 to lunch time.
