Aeration Week Coming to a Close

The first mowing on the greens since they were aerified on Tuesday.

The fairways were verticut in two directions and even with the unexpected rain on Tuesday we were able to get most of the debris off the fairways.  For the next few days we will vacuuming the debris that was blown in the roughs.
While we had almost 2" of rain to start the process this week, everything has cleaned up well.  Having the course closed during the process allows my staff to work without interruption which leads to more productivity, especially with 20% less staff this season.

The Cavalry Has Arrived!

 A sight for sore eyes.  These line crews from Pennsylvania arrived last night at 6:45 to put all the power wires back up to our pump house.  Lucky we had a generator to run one pump for the last week but it presented its own challenges.  Now we are fully operational!  The little things in life we take for granted.
