We have had some crazy weather over the last few weeks. A bunch of rain, sub zero wind chills and days in the 60-70 range. We have been able to keep ourselves busy though. Over the last few weeks we have been cleaning up the wetlands and bunker surrounds. Once a year, we will mow down all of the wetlands and bunker surrounds. This will give us a clean slate in these areas going into the upcoming season. Another area that we have been able to clean up is around the irrigation pond. We cut everything down to give it a cleaner look and make sure it doesn't get too overgrown.
Our tree removal plan has also continued. Most of the trees that we are taking down are dead or dying. These have become safety hazards and we will work as quickly as we can to get these taken care of first. There are some trees that are coming out that are shade issues. These have made it extremely difficult to maintain quality turf and need to be removed.
Overall, we have had a pretty good winter so far and we are looking forward to the spring.
