Ice no More

Thank You February for being one of the warmest I can remember.  The warm temperatures melted all of our snow and ice.  What will the rest of the winter will bring is unknown, but for now we are in good shape.

One of our focuses during the off season; is addressing the inconsistencies of our collars and approaches.  We have some varieties of grass in these areas, this gives us a bit on an inconsistent playing surface.  In the past we were using our bunker leaf rake attachment to help stand the grass up before cutting, this marginally worked.  So this winter we modified one of our old bunker rake attachments.  The result is a new broom/brush attachment to go on our existing machine.  As shown below the new attachment, with broom heads, will have the  same working width but should stand the grass up even better for a more consistent final product.  There may be some final modifications, after a quick demo looks to work really well.  We may even look to use on other areas of the course including the greens.




Think Spring!
We will see you on the course soon!
