Well it sure looks like we will have a brown Christmas this year in Aberdeen. Having no snow is not the ideal thing for the course, so far the course looks to be handling the moisture free winter in great shape. Any moisture some time soon would be great. So far this winter we have hand watered the sand based greens twice. It is important to keep moisture in the root zone of the plant, especially when it is dry and exposed. We will continue to monitor the moisture level in the greens and add water as needed.
The warmer temps has allowed the maintenance staff to work on some tree removal. Shown below is us removing some of the dead cotton woods near the driving range. There are more in this area that have meet their life expectancy and will be removed.
When not outside the focus is working on equipment and accessories for next season. Below the fairway yardage plates received a fresh coat of paint.
Thank You for another great golf season
Merry Christmas from the Maintenance Staff.
Ross
