We continue to adjust on the fly as the coronavirus pandemic
rolls along. This week we are bringing our staff back on a limited schedule so
that we do not fall too far behind in maintenance of the property.
We will be taking things one week at a time, but for now we
will have just a few guys a day so that we are not gathered as a full staff in a
group. Those few staff members will keep their social distancing habits and
will work alone whenever possible. We will sanitize often-touched surfaces in
and around our shop and equipment.
Minimum maintenance will still be the goal. We are lucky
that the Bermuda grass is not in need of daily attention, but several other
aspects of the course are now. We have made it this far without having to mow
the rough, but it is now to the point that it must be cut. We have also skipped
raking bunkers over the last couple of weeks. But allowing them to sit unattended
much longer will make them much more difficult to get back into shape. Lastly, we
must get the pool grounds ready for the summer. While a pool opening date is uncertain,
we still must prepare by removing the covers, cleaning up debris from the winter,
and laying new sod in several areas.
It is our goal to accomplish these tasks while keeping our staff
as safe as possible. However, the grass does not stop growing and it is time to
start tackling our spring to-do list.
Etiquette Reminder of the Month
In addition to repairing your own ball mark on every green,
please repair at least one other as well.
Also, as part of a Golf Committee initiative to improve
course etiquette, we have included links to videos teaching proper on course
etiquette. Please take a moment to watch:
See you on the course!
