Couple more Pictures

We had a chance to take the boards down at the clubhouse this morning.

I snapped a few pictures while we were up there




Everything is looking good.  We will see what this little cold snap brings.  My best guess is and I think I am pretty close we are 7-10 days ahead of last years melt and thaw.

Spring Maybe?

Seven days ago it was impossible to move around the golf course.  It is truly amazing how much snow we have lost in the last week. 

We have been able to get around the golf course fairly easily sense Monday.  But, I still managed to get stuck with the cart a couple times.  I wouldn't say that we came through the winter unscathed from any damage.  But, by far we are in much better shape than last year.  It is still March and mother nature might not be done with us yet but, we will remain optimistic. 

On today's adventure to see how we wintered, I actually remembered to take some pictures.

A few spots on 3 green look damaged on top

Overall 3 green looks way better than last year

We certainly had our issues with this green last year.  But, so far so good this year. 

Lets all hope for mild sunny days ahead

Winter 2015




I know it has been an extremely long time since I posted.  But, better late than ever right!  Finally the weather man has posted temperatures in the forecast that are above zero for next week.  This along with some bright sunshine has inspired me to go for a walk this morning.  The snow I believe is deeper and heavier than last year, but  the best part is there is no ice compared to last year.  We will have to see what next week will bring.  Lets remain optimistic that spring is right around the corner.

Below are pictures of the depth and the Green below on #2 Green.

The picture is a little far that is 8-9 inches of snow
 
Last year at this time there was about the same snow cover but, there was a thick layer of ice under the snow which was suffocating the grass. 

Anyways I thought that it would be a good time to update you all that I am still here and all looks well so far. Lets all hope for warmer weather.

Thanks Kendall
