It seems that spring has arrived and we accept it with open
arms. Most of the seasonal staff has started and are busy prepping the course
for the upcoming season. The nicer weather has allowed us to also get a jump
start on the spring aerification, as well as course cleanup. The greens are looking good under the covers besides a few select areas
and will they will be removed later this week or early next week. The early removal of snow helped limit ice formation/damage and protected the Poa annua grass on the greens.
The course irrigation has been charged and water is being applied due to windy conditions and lack of moisture. Since our course sits at 7,000 feet, it always seems to be a few weeks behind when compared to surrounding courses in our region but won't be long until the course is ready to go.

Our irrigation tech. Ian Lee, is also excited about his new cart. We took one of the gators (utility cart) and transformed it into an extended flatbed. This allows Ian to put tool boxes and hoses in the back and still has room for other tools needed to do his job.
