What's happening? Sticks, mostly.

Between 3 and 4 Fairway

Raking sticks after the winter is always a big job. I am happy to say at this point all that is left is to pick up the piles scattered across the whole course.

Peeling the cover off 14 green

At this point the covers have been off for about a week. It's always fun to see the green color as the cover is taken off.

Shaded back side of 3 green

The covers are all white except for the green colored logo. On the back of 3 it was just that much warmer with the darker color to melt off the frost and leave behind this picture.

Rapid Changes

As is often the case, weather is the star of the show here at Blackhawk. The recent volatility has given me a few interesting pictures

Standing on 7 fairway, looking north towards the pond

This standing water lasted 3-4 days around the 19th of February. Almost all of the snow melted and eventually drained away, leading to the next picture.

Starting the course clean-up

After things had a chance to dry out a little, we were able to go out and start the after winter clean-up. 

Snowed out!

Less than 24 hours later we got hit with this snow, which is still lightly coming down now.

The good news is everything is looking good after the weird winter. The bad news is winter is not quite over yet.
