The beat goes on...

We've had a good bit of rain lately, but some beautiful days as well.  It is truthfully surreal to be on the golf course on a lovely spring day and see no golfers.  While the lack of golfers has the advantage of allowing us to perform most any task at any time of the day, it is just plain strange. 

This unusual time has also made us aware of how focused we have always been on avoiding play while maintaining the golf course.  For example, if you're repairing a fairway sprinkler at 11:00 in the morning, you can't help but instinctively keep looking back at the tee to make sure nobody is hitting at you.
Solid tining #1 fairway mid-day.
Another difference we are dealing with is the size of our crew.  By April 1, we were scheduled to have 20 employees in the department.  Instead, we are now operating with the core group of 11 year round employees.  This is a huge difference, but we feel very fortunate to still have this dedicated staff, all of whom are doing an outstanding job during this challenging time.

We are currently wrapping up some small projects, as the shift to mowing is right around the corner.
