January at the shop has been business as usual so far. Dave, Omar, Angel and Kevin have been hard at work on the fairway mowers. So far there has only been routine maintenance/repair, which this year included changing all the bearings in the cutting units. There is a lot of equipment left, but it has been going well so far.
We've also started working on course accessories.The benches got a fresh coat of stain, and the ballwashers are shiny and ready to be put together later in the winter. The picture to the right shows nearly finished tee blocks, missing only the Blackhawk logo.
As for the course, it's really too early to know exactly what will happen. With the dramatic swings in temperature and the rain and snow we had some worry about ice. Chad went out to have a look at a few greens, and thankfully there is no ice so far. We will continue to monitor the course, and take any action if necessary.
