I would like to thank all the members who came out for the superintendents revenge scramble today. We also got an extra $30 in donations from 3 members that couldn't play. This money will be used to help pay for our new utility cart. Since I'm normally gone by the time some of you play, it was nice seeing some new faces.
This is what happens when you walk on a green that has frost on it. Please check in at the pro shop before going on the golf course when the temperature is 40 degrees or below. I update them on course conditons before letting golf start. These footprints should grow out in about a week.
Steve Sevald and Scott have been helping with drainage this last week. We had access to a back hoe and skidsteer this week. Steve used the skidsteer to clean out these ditch lines while Scott finished shaping and cleaning up the spoils. Steve also cleared out some overgrown cattails on number 8 and did some work behing tee number 13. The clean spoils will be used on the new chipping green while the less clean spoils will be used on the new hill.
Over the years, the ditch lines have collected sediment which has slowed up draining of surface water. By cleaning them out, we hope to dry up the course quicker on heavy rain days.
