Memorial Day - The First Day of Summer ???








Hole #3 without the snow last Friday, May 20th




Snow once again blanketed us on Saturday afternoon and evening.  By 8pm Saturday we had about 6 inches on the grass and about 4 inches on the pavement, which prompted me to call Eric Sutton about having a plow ready for the morning should it continue the onslaught of snow.  Fortunately it melted off to a couple of inches by morning, but golf was out of the question.

The projects are piling up with the bad weather, so I wanted to provide an update on our hopes and plans for this week.

Monday - Holiday shortened day
Tuesday - Finish the cart path overlay on hole #6.  Finish asphalt repairs on Schaffer Mill Road.
      Fertilizing tees, with no topdressing planned.  The forecast is for 50% chance rain / snow; high 40.
Wednesday - Tree removal on #4 for shade problems developing on the right side of the green.
Thursday - Trout stocking of all the ponds.
Friday - Painting sewer lift stations.  Road striping paint on Schaffer Mill Road.
