A little roll to smooth out the surfaces followed by a little nutrient spray to help with plant health and the course will reopen again tomorrow. Lets hope for no more snow or ice this winter.
After our old chipper required a significant amount of work, we decided to purchase this chipper from Downes Tree Service to help us continue to do tree work throughout the course. Our old chipper did a great job for us and was at its life expectancy and we expect to get a lot more work done with this one.
After the snow yesterday followed by heavy rains and some frozen ground the golf course is literally a giant ice skating pond right now. Hopefully warm weather is coming to thaw out everything and get the standing water off the turf. The flash freezing is not good for the grass but luckily it is only been like this for 24 hours.
New equipment started getting delivered today as our John Deere equipment lease is about to expire in April and we are replacing our greens mowers and rough mowers with Toro equipment. We will have these mowers for 5 years and then turn them in since they will be logging a lot of hours over the 5 years and technology will have changed as well.
