Course Update

It looks like the snow season is arriving. Today we had a light covering but unfortunately stayed around and we were not able to open. This to hurts our productivity on the golf course. So we had to switch gears and do some shop improvements as well as preventative maintenance on our equipment. My shop mechanics were busy building an attachment to mount our small snow plow on one of our tractors. This past year we parted ways with a piece of equipment that the plow was mounted to. Rather than waist the plow they came up with the idea of mounting it to a tractor. The great thing about this is we had spare parts to fabricate this and cost very little, as you can see in the picture. The rest of the staff was busy this week creating an outdoor secure storage area so we can free up more space in the shop. We have a few more things to finish but it really turned out well, You may have notice the canopy structure actually was in the pool area this past summer. We rarely throw things away because there are instances such as this that we can re-use them.
