Tree cleanup

Today was nice spring day. We took advantage of the weather and cleaned up some of the willow trees on the course. The willows seem to grow upright and than slowly start to lean and fall over. The trees we cut today were leaning into playable areas. 

The above picture is on the east side of #1 fairway. 

Think spring!!!  The golf season is not far away!

North Central Turfgrass

Just spent the better part of a week at the NCTGA. It's a Turfgrass show if Fargo. It was a great show with variety of good topics and speakers. 

The highlight for me was listening to Dr Thom Nikoli. He is a turf professor from Michigan State University. He covered a variety of topics, and very easy to listen to. Two main concepts stuck in my mind; first is the simple ideas he had to maintain great turf and second was some of the ideas he had to help improve constomer service. 

Now back to the grind of getting ready for the golf season. 

Below is a picture from 17 tee. 

Any thoughts or ideas for the up and coming golf season please feel free to contact me. 

We will see you on the course soon!!
