New water cooler stations

Recently we were able to start replacing the water cooler stations on the course. 4 are complete and in place, with another 4 to go.

Not only were the old water cooler stations old, but they were also very unattractive. Due to their age, they had begun to fall apart. We made repairs over the years to hold them together, which helped, but was more of a band-aid than a cure. And doing the repairs all at different times lead to each water cooler looking different from the others. It was time for a fresh start.

The old style

Transporting the new station out,

Setting in place

Over last winter and into the spring, we constructed 4 new stations from recycled plastic material. This material is similar to that used for the trash cans and the benches. We did not build the trash cans, but we did build the benches. We chose to match the color scheme throughout. All of these items are now much more capable of handling being out in the elements year-round.

The design and size of the new water cooler stations is very similar to the old ones. They are slightly smaller overall, and slightly shorter. The shelf that the water cooler itself sits on is slightly lower also. This makes it that much easier for us to get the very heavy cooler up into the station.

Though this does not affect a person’s golf game, we know how important water is to each player. Now the water cooler stations will look better and as time allows, we will get the other 4 built and replaced very soon.

Etiquette Reminder of the Month

Golf carts must always remain on cart paths once past the green and white posts, through the next tee complex. This is not weather dependent!

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!
