New Equipment

Back in January, Ann Arbor Council approved some new equipment for the two city-owned golf courses. We started getting it in last week.


One of the two new greens mowers.


A new bunker rake.


From left to right, another greens mower, a fairway mower, a zero-turn mower and a rough mower.


Two light duty work carts, a heavy duty work cart and a mower for the intermediate rough cut.

All of the old equipment that this will replace will be auctioned off when the City holds it's annual vehicle auction.

The high temperature for the March was 76.9 degrees. (Mar 24th) while the low was 12.5 (4th.) Eighteen days had low temperatures below 32 degrees while 8 days never got above the freezing point.

There were 10 days of rain recorded by the weather station. The monthly total was 3.48 inches. Seven days saw more than a tenth of an inch of rain and the 30th had the most rainfall with 1.29 inches.

Average windspeed was 4.3 mph. The highest recorded sustained windspeed was 41 mph, on the 8th, which was the day that saw numerous power outages around the state. It also knocked over a few trees at the golf courses as well as dislodging the power lines behind the Leslie Clubhouse, resulting in the power pole catching on fire!
