The 2015 golf season started 1 year ago today. While that was no April Fools joke, someone or something is definitely playing one on us today. Everything looked great this morning. Even under a cloudy sky I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures. The best was off the forward tee on 9.

The hail/snow won't last long even with the cool weather, although it will add to the general wetness of the course. Aside from the weather limiting play, everything is going smoothly on the course. We've mowed greens 3 times since opening on March 22nd and the front 9 fairways were all mowed. There are also a handful of spots in the rough that are growing enough to warrant a mowing once it dries out. The course accessories have gradually been put out, and only the benches remain inside now. The bunkers were also cleaned and raked with special attention given to the front left bunker on 3 green. We stripped all the sand that had been contaminated by pebbles from the drainage lines and replaced it with fresh sand.
We hope to work on a few other projects (including opening the bathrooms on 6 once we are sure there wont be any frozen water lines) but once the grass starts growing in earnest, it will be a full time job to keep up with mowing. Even if we get the two more snowfalls that equipment manager Dave is predicting it won't be long before daily play is a reality. See you on the course!
