I have been working on cleaning up the maintenance barn and making it more user friendly. I also make it a point to get out on the golf course at least once a day to check out the golf course. Yesterday, I found that some vandals had taken one of the bluebird houses near #4 tee and tore it out of the ground and then filled it full of fireworks.<br /><br />Also, with the course was open until Thanksgiving and we hope to have it open again by the end of March. With all of the ballwashers, benches tee markers, flags, cups and other accessories coming off the course, being cleaned and painted and then being put back on the course before play starts, not to mention changing the oil and hydraulic fluid on the mowers and golf carts and sharpening the mowing units, I have still found some time to undertake some projects like putting new drainage on #11, removing invasive shrubs like buckthorn and honeysuckle, putting new lights in the barn, taking my pesticide applicators test and writing in this blog. By the way, all of this needs to be done while I am the only one in the maintenance department until the beginning of March.<br /><br />But yes, things have slowed down.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772468577891789732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484465813891513689.post-84917809584168620392012-01-11T18:24:08.543-05:002012-01-11T18:24:08.543-05:00During the slow season, you might discuss some of ...During the slow season, you might discuss some of the things you do to prepare for the coming season. I can't imagine you are as busy as you would be during the active season. Still, there are probably a number of things you do that would surprise the rest of us.<br /><br />And by the way, how many balls did they fish out of the ponds?Brian Kuehnnoreply@blogger.com
