Golf Course Opening Thursday, March 17th

I'm glad to say that I have to eat my words from my first post on the blog.  Originally, I thought that there was no chance we would be able to open the golf course as early as we did in 2009, and now, we will be opening the exact same day as we did then.  The course will be open for play with carts (weather permitting of course) on Thursday, March 17th at 11:00a.m.

The small skeleton crew that we have working on the grounds staff has been hard at work the past two days.  Yesterday, we spent the day working at cleaning the sticks that litter the course every winter, and today we spent the day blowing debris off the greens and the tees, and also got a start on rolling the greens.  Tomorrow, we will finish rolling the greens, finish blowing off the tees, and continue to clean up the course.  When we open, we won't have all the winter debris cleaned up, so please be patient with some of the mess as we continue to clean it all up after we open. 

Thursday's forecast is calling for the temperature to be in the 60's, so make sure to come on out and enjoy some St. Patricks's day golf and the early opening of your golf course!
