Winter Prep...Irrigation Blow Out

As Winter approaches, we are starting the process to shut down the course and protect it the best we can from mother nature. Over the next few weeks, we will:

1) Blow out the irrigation system (completed on 11-16)

2) Bring in ropes and stakes so we can refurbish them over the winter months (completed on 11-16)

3) Topdress Greens (completed)

4) Spray Greens, Tees, and Fairways with fungicide for 'Snow Mold' (completed)

5) Bring in all course amenities for winter maintenance (completed)

6) Begin the 2016 budgeted tree work plan (in progress......) 

7) Cover greens for the winter (completed)

Besides the projects, we will continue with the leaf clean up, but it's difficult with the wet and windy forecast that's predicted.  Hopefully in the coming week, the leaves will all be down and we can complete the clean up so we can mow everything one last time prior to the fungicide application.   The weather is hit and miss which can make it tricky to get everything completed prior to the ground being covered in that dreaded white stuff....snow!
