After a long and stress filled season this is a sight that brings a sense of calm, at least temporarily. We have completed winterizing the course irrigation system by draining all the water from the piping and then blowing any remaining water out through the sprinkler heads with compressed air. For me this signifies the golf season has officially come to an end.
The level of urgency is certainly lower for the winter months but we do stay busy throughout the season. Last week we finished the final chemical application to the greens and tees to protect them from the harsh winter weather.
We are currently trimming the dead wood out of the Oak trees and have many other projects to complete before the snow flies.
