Unseasonably warm weather that occurred through much of December and January has dominated into the first week of February. Incredibly we were able to open the golf course for a few days for golf play last week, however the forecast for this week and weekend does not look as promising with high temperatures around 30 degrees.
The lack of snow cover and frequently unfrozen ground has provided the green department with many opportunities for golf course improvement projects at a time when disruption to golf play is at a minimum. Last week we were able to begin improving the walking bridges on the golf course. Most of the wooden planks on the bridges are starting to deteriorate from old age. Our plan is to completely remove all old wooden planks and inspect the i-beam supports system for any signs of weaknesses. Once the support system is inspected and repairs have been made we will plank the i-beams with new treated 2x6's. This walking bridge restoration program will continue through the winter and all other bridges on the golf course will be scheduled to be improved or replaced in the upcoming years.
