Projects and Flu Season

Well the weather finally gave us some sunshine and warmer conditions for a few days. I hope everyone was able to get out and enjoy it while it was here. It looks like cooler conditions are going to be moving back in over the next couple of days along with some rain showers. This week we have been able to get the golf course mowed out (rough and green banks)on schedule. We are currently mowing greens and tees about every other day right now due to the growing pattern of the turf. Along with our normal golf course maintenance we are working on some projects around the golf course. One of those is spraying fairways for cool season grass control and broad leaf weeds. We are also working on repairing some of our bridge crossings due to some of the creek banks washing out from all the rain fall. We are rebuilding these areas and stacking rock and concrete around them to help control the erosion. Another project we are working on is trimming around irrigation heads and valves. The grass starts to grow up around the heads and valves and makes it hard to see the yardages on the heads and impedes us from seeing them when we start to shut the system down for the winter later in the year. The flu bug has started to hit my staff over the last couple of days. We have been averaging at least one to two guys being sick from work this week. I hope everyone has been able to stay healthy and have had a great week.
