Here is a neat time lapse video of our triplex greens mower mowing number 3 green. That was fast!

An update from the last couple weeks....

We have completed the deep tine aerification on the greens. They are top dressed and have been rolled to smooth them out. They are looking really good and playing well also. Wetting agent has been applied to greens, tees and collars. This helps hold moisture in when it is dry and windy here in the spring. Dandelions and other weeds have been popping up already! We have been spraying them as they come up trying to keep them in check. Do the same with your home lawns to keep the good grass that you have and don't let those weeds invade! Look forward to seeing you on the course!

A good start...

It has been an up and down spring this year, but overall the weather has been pretty nice. An earlier start than most years has kept us busy getting everything going, plus we are trying to complete our project list. All of this has been done with limited labor but at the end of the month and beginning of the next month we have some more guys coming in. The help arriving will be much appreciated. Above is a picture of a prairie grass fire to the north. It was quite the scene!!!

Project Update

The weather has been much cooler since Saturday. With the cold spell we have been able to get some projects done and wrap up a few from last fall that we did not finish. While moving some soil we found the little guy above in the pile. He didn't seem to happy with the air temp outside of his home. Looks like the forecast for the rest of the week should be nice. Even one day in the 70's potentially!!!

Golf Course Is Opening Thursday!

The golf course will be open Thursday March 15th. What an early start to the season! Carts will be available with cart path only on a few holes. Please take care of the golf course this time of year, keeping in mind that divots and ball marks will not heal for a while. Come on out this weekend and enjoy the amazing weather!

What a winter!

Here is an interesting article about this winter's weather. Take a look.

Course Update

Took a walk around the course today, things are looking good. There isn't a lot of snow. The forecast looks like there are some nice days ahead, we should see some snow disappear.
