May is Here!

Yes it is officially May, our weather has seemed to level out and be a bit more normal for now. To think just two weeks ago there was still some snow on the ground, hard to imagine that now.  

The last 10 days have been crazy to say the least. With the dry weather our main focus has been to get the irrigation up and running, it has been a bit of a challenge. First we did have a couple of leaks, which is normal for the amount of frost we had in the ground this winter.  Second there was an abnormal amount of hard water deposits to flush out of the line this year, basically we removed the guts out of each head and flushed until they run clean as shown below.  Thank you to the maintenance staff for a couple of days of flushes my lines. The good news we have been up and irrigating since last Friday night.  Yes there are few problem heads we are still working on, but for the most we are functional. 

The Golf Course continues to greenup and improve everyday. Starting next week we will also be getting on more regular mowing schedule. Hope you find time to come out and enjoy your course.
