After a virtually snowless winter last year, it was nice to see the course covered in a coating of white this past week. With close to 300 rounds the prior weekend--a crazy number for mid-December--the course is ready for a break from the action.
In addition to the Clubhouse, the Grounds team clears snow from the several sidewalks where golf course property adjoins the street. This includes the areas behind #10 green, #1 green, #8 green, #7 green, #5 tee, and #14 green.
Our snow blower typically makes this an effortless process, however the temperature fluctuations during the storm led to a layer of ice forming, which created some challenging conditions when it was time to do our clean up. For the most part, the snow blower was just gliding across the top of it, so a good bit of handwork was required to chip the ice away.
The snow also had some of the woodland creatures looking for shelter. One cute youngster was spotted seeking refuge in the shrubs behind the Clubhouse.
