We've been trying to stay as busy as we can considering the weather. The weather has not been very cooperative as we have had about 6 goods days of weather since the course really cleared of snow in mid-April. We are about 1/2 way around the course with mouse/vole damage cleanup in the roughs and haven't yet touched the bunkers. We will have a local rule in place for opening designating the bunkers as hazards..more so than they already are!? We won't put out the rakes until we have a chance to clean them up. We started our greens aerification yesterday and it has been slow going. We picked up a quick inch or so of snow this afternoon about 4:30 or so and put a stop to our day. The front 9 is finished save a little brushing and cleaning up. We will start rolling the front 9 tomorrow and working them back into playing condition. It will definitely be early season conditions out there on Wednesday and again we appreciate everyone's patience as we work in conjunction with mother nature to get the course in shape.
If you haven't driven by the course in the last couple of weeks, a goose has take over the platform nest from the osprey on #11. The pair of osprey tried to get the goose out for about a week and a half before deciding to start another nest several poles southwest down Spring Gulch. We called LVE and worked with them finding a spot for an additional pole and they've already put it up. It's only been 3 days and the osprey have the makings of good nest started. It also looks like one of young that got fledged last year is back and building a nest on the platform on the southwest corner of the property behind # 12 green/13 tee area.
Have a great week..see you Wednesday.
