Looks like our warm end to winter is going to continue as they are predicting as much as 1/2" of rain between this afternoon and Tuesday. It has created an interesting snow pack on the golf course and made grooming the track quite an adventure. The snow pack continues to go pretty quickly and I suspect if we stay above freezing and get all rain the depths on the course will be under a foot by the end of next week. Normally we would stop grooming the track and close the course by April 1st to begin our spring maintenance but that may happen sooner this year looking at the forecast. We will remove our cross country signs and stakes once we make the decision to close the course to public traffic, so get out and enjoy while the opportunity presents itself.
We are ramping up our hiring efforts for the summer season and preparing to start spring projects. We will be rebuilding several of our walk bridges this spring, as well as, staining the bridge railings that were re-built last year. If time allows we will also begin rebuilding some of the stairs on the par 3's, specifically #3 and #6. It's hard to start thinking about those kinds of things with snow still on the ground but as the weather seems to be trending warmer a little earlier than normal we need to be prepared for the possibility of an earlier "spring". I hope everyone is having a great winter and we can't wait to start putting back together the golf course for a great summer season!
