WInter projects on the golf course

We have been very busy this winter, the weather has been mild and the course has been busy.  We have been cutting cups, raking bunkers moving tee markers and finishing up with the leaves over the past month.  Donald and Hugo have been busy overhauling our equipment and making sure it is ready to go in the spring.  Annual maintenance includes sharpening blades, changing oils and filters, greasing, checking hydraulic hoses, and replacing any worn out bearings and rollers.  The well that services our shop and the bag room during the winter months was replaced.  We installed a new sign on the corner of our property which will make us more visible to our guests.  Tree work has also begun with the removal of several dead trees around the course and will continue as weather permits.  We are working on limbing up the White Pines and Cedars on #10, #11 and between #2 and #3.  Cedars by #6 blue tee are also being pruned to allow more air movement on the back tees.

Hugo is pressure washing our Toro 4500D rough mower getting it ready for maintenance.
