The grass doesn't know...

In the words of Ferris Bueller, "Life moves pretty fast..."  It does indeed--certainly when we started planning for the 2020 golf season last fall, nobody could have known the challenges everyone is currently dealing with.

However, despite all that's happening in the world right now, the grass isn't aware.  The lack of winter, and some warm temperatures have the daffodils up and the forsythia in full bloom.  The dormant Bentgrass is starting to go from beige to green, and the darned geese are attempting to nest.  Soon, the mowing requirements on the course will increase dramatically.

With only key staff currently working, hand mowing greens isn't a viable option.

At the moment, we are trying to carefully balance the needs of the golf course, along with the well-being of our staff.  Fortunately, if "distancing" is the goal, having 237 acres of open space allows us to easily spread out.
