January 8th Update

All I can say is that "I Survived the Polar Vortex"! With temperatures dropping dramatically with in a 24 hour period we shifted gears and concentrated on working inside. We try and set up our winter work load this way so that we can keep the staff out of the elements when it gets this cold. Some good opportunities that we can do is sanding of the golf course benches. This removes the yearly wear and preps them to be re-oiled for the coming season.  With just a few pallets of sod to lay out they literally became ice blocks, to combat this we would leave them over night in a heated environment and quickly lay them out the next morning before they would freeze again. 

The bunker project is in standby mode, the future weather forecast looks promising to continue later this week. Our last two trees were planted yesterday on #5 screening the home, the frozen ground was a great advantage to limit any ruts from the heavy equipment.

#15 new fairway extension
