Green Mowing and Bunker Work


Last Friday, we walk mowed greens for the first time.  The early start to golf season is great for you, but hard on my budget.  Jose and I can't get it all done so we've had to bring in our two best seasonal helpers early.  We will use a combination of walking and tri-plexing greens until we get more help towards the end of the April.



Juan and Jesus started bunker raking on Tuesday.  They should finish on Thursday.  The first raking is very time consuming.  They are cleaning, pushing sand up on faces, raking and placing rakes out as they go.


This is a "Prairie Fire" crab apple we planted 3 years ago.  I picked this tree because it's resistant to many diseases that defoliate many of the older varieties.  Guy Lipack has been helping me choose and donating many of the new tree plantings the last few years.  We are planting in areas that have trees that need to be removed in the next few years.

We will have all 3 port a johns out this weekend.  Tee signs and the rest of the ball washers should also be out.  Thank you for your patience as we get ready for the golf season.
