The snow has melted after some balmy weather accompanied by two rain events.  This wet pattern has persisted since September.  Long range weather calls for winter cold to stretch into March so some big snow events should not be a surprise.  In the meantime we continue to get the course ready for spring.

 

The crew is making good progress cutting back pond and creek banks.  We planted milkweed with seed provided by Audubon in this area as part of Monarchs in the Rough program.  Contact MONARCHSINTHEROUGH.ORG if you are interested.

 

 

Wildflowers have been cut back and the 2019 season is ready to go.

 

 

One benefit of all the rain is pinpointing where drainage is required (we just received another two and a half inches).  Here water needs to be diverted to the hazard right of the path.

 

 

This storm water should be captured in a basin before it crosses twelve fairway.

 

 

This area near the eighth tee will be repaired by raising the ground to the right of the path and allowing the water to flow between the green and red tees.

 

 

This winter project is nearly complete.  Please take it all!
