Golf season is fast approaching.  Dry weather has allowed our crew to really move on course work.  Last season's growth has been cut back around almost every creek and pond bank.  Fresh chips have been spread throughout the course.  Our crew did an outstanding job building a walkway for members to enter the club from the Rygate community.  The tree removal project has gone well and will wrap up next week.  The course looks very open and will take some time to adjust to the changes.  Next week we begin repairing any damaged turf after picking up the stump grindings. We plan to use plenty of sod and seed in March.   Once the tree's leaf out the existing deciduous trees will shine!  Golf course construction is moving along as well.  The bunkers on 15 will be finished next week.  Internal drainage in specific fairways will be the last part of this winter's improvements.

What a clean, open look.  The tree pruning is exceptional.
