Spring has arrived...officially!!

Well, today was the Spring Equinox and it provided me with the last opportunity  to get some mowing done in dry conditions out on the golf course (before rain hit Thursday pm).

As Ryan has been away on annual leave, project work has been temporarily postponed until next week. However, it has allowed me to concentrate upon several other tasks this week. 

Despite limited personnel on the course, a great deal has been achieved, including:

- All fairways brushed to stand up grasses and disperse worm casts
- Greens rolled for smoothness
- Greens cut to maintain uniform height
- All rough cut around greens and fairways
- Weeding/renovation of 5th and 9th paths
- Start made with bunker weeding, raking  
and restoring sand levels

Many thanks this week to Len Dilnutt, Dave Asprey and Jeff Perkin for their valuable work and assistance! Great stuff fellas! 

Below is a photo I managed to snap of the great effects of fairway brushing (7th hole):
