The crew jumped right in (no pun intended) and started cleaning up the course. We had several large washouts that traveled across rough and fairways. With the amount of water traveling across the grass had left behind a considerable amount of decomposed granite from the surrounding areas. Some drains had been clogged and standing water was present. The crew was able to quickly free the drains of debris and get the water draining well.
We have also have had trouble getting the geese to stay off of the course. With limited access we could chase the geese off during the day but they are coming back in the evening. Since we cannot get our equipment out on the course the geese have made quite a mess as you can imagine. We will be on top of this issue and as soon as we can comfortably get the larger equipment on the course we will clean the fairways off. Since the snow is slow to melt the geese congregate in small areas leaving a large mess in a small area.
The crew also took care of the trees that were victim to the storm. We had one tree fall on the 16th hole, left hand side, across the path in the native. The other tree that fell from the storm was on the left hand side of the 9th hole. Both trees were blocking the cartpath. The crew did a nice job today clearing the paths of snow and debris making the course accessible for cart traffic if anyone would like to tour the course and see not only the clean up we have done but also the snow covered fairways and green,
If you have any questions about the status of the golf course, feel free to contact me.
