Last Friday we had the bunker polymer applicators arrive to find a steady drizzle. That right there pretty much sums up how mother nature and our wonderful weather people have been calling it. But we did luck out on Saturday and these guys made a great push to spray holes 4,5,7,8. This is really a big deal to us, the applicators come from New York and as stated before scheduling around what you might think the weather will do has been a night mare. Hole #3 is shaping up very nicely and then we will be moving on to #1, #2 and the short game. That big pile of bunker sand is about gone and more should be arriving by the day, that puts them very close to completing the bunkers on #8. We shifted to that hole instead of #10 because we have a haul rode that needs seed and straw laid down as soon as the heavy equipment is finished driving through there.
Our greens aerification is almost complete for the spring and we will be looking at aerifying the Tees as soon as possible. The pump house building drainage has about another hour of work left and it is a great feeling to have it finally dry inside the building, Our seasonal staff returns next week, that could not have come at a better time because our list just keeps growing and growing. So look for us in the following weeks to really turn it on and start to dominate out on the golf course, of course if mother nature will let me!
