Switching gears...

The unseasonably cold weather quickly slowed grass growth over the past week.  While this leads to much less mowing, it does not mean that we are sitting around like the Maytag repairman.  No, it's just a shift to other projects we seldom have time to address during the season.

For example, solid tining fairways provides benefits most any time of the year.  While the surface disruption is minimal, this process helps to fracture the soil, relieve compaction, allow gas exchange, and improve water infiltration.

The crew is also working to improve drainage in several of our old bunkers, which have yet to be renovated with the Matrix  liner.

While it's nice to take on some new tasks, and a little shoveling in bunkers is not an issue for the guys, there is one activity that we hope won't be taking place anytime soon...
