This morning’s wave of lightning and light rain have kept us off the golf course. Just like golfers, we cannot afford to be on the course with lightning present. We are currently in a holding pattern, while the system moves through. It’s hard to predict how long it will last, as we thought it was […]

Good from afar….far from Great
We don’t like settling for good. Good is going with the same approach time and time again, and not worrying about the results. Good is mediocrity. Instead, we focus on the end product, and must adapt our approach, given the year and conditions Mother Nature provides. Each year is different, which at times, creates frustration […]

The weather continues to not cooperate, it’s exceptionally wet on the course today. With 3/4″ to start the week, and another 3/4″ last night/today, the course has standing water scattered throughout, and the rain continues to fall. I’m hopeful that the rain will stop around noon today. Unfortunately, we will be walking only today, carts […]
Continue readingFriday Frost
With a current temperature of 34 degrees, it’s going to be back to back Fridays we will experience a frost delay. Friday’s are the worst day for a delay, as we know everyone wants to play, and we have maintenance to accomplish. When the frost is gone, we will need extra time to get out […]

We needed rain, just not the 2″ we received last night/this morning. It has left us with a saturated course with scattered areas of standing water. Unfortunately, we will have to restrict carts for today. We need moisture to help with recovery of our winter-damaged areas, but we need warmth even more. The ground temperatures […]

We’re under a frost delay this morning. A delay is never ideal, especially on a Friday, which is a big maintenance and golf day. This delay will affect the level of maintenance that we had planned in order to get players on the course. This frost also halts the turf recovery from winter damage. We […]
Continue readingFirst Frost Delay
We will have our first frost delay of the season this morning. It will prevent us from our normal maintenance to the course in order to get everyone out playing as soon as possible. It’s difficult to know how long the delay will be until the sun comes up and the frost sets in. Come […]

It’s been a roller coaster winter, and just like we didn’t want, a few extra weeks of it. But Wednesday at 10:00, we can put all of that behind us, and kick off the season. The weather looks great, I hope you can join us! If you haven’t already heard, this winter was a tough […]

Update on the Centennial Bridge On Monday, Hartman Construction poured the floor of the bridge. A pump truck was brought in to reach the 55 foot span of the bridge, and now, the concrete will be left to cure for a week until it’s ready for stone to be adhered to it. This process went […]
Continue readingBridge and Course Update
A lot has happened since my last post on the bridge. All of the footing and abutment boxes have been set in place, precisely aligned, and at the exact elevations. The cement was then poured into the boxes. Luckily, the ice was so thick on Walsh Lake that we were able to drive […]
