Garden beautification day

-

Wow what a beautiful day to beautify the gardens today. We had the master gardeners in full force this morning. We also had some strong and ambitious men helping out also. They may not have green thumbs but do they know how to handle a wheelbarrow, shovel and rake. Jane Barton rallied the troops and assigned gardens to her fellow garden friends. The men's main job was to put mulch around the plants in the garden by hole 13. This garden is huge. It has its own sprinkler system compliments of Jane Barton. This is a special memorial garden. It has grown over the past few years. When this garden is in full bloom it looks awesome.  Pictures to follow this summer. 
We have a lovely master gardener and a group of lovely ladies that have some serious green thumbs keep up these gardens. They do such a wonderful job. There is no way I could keep up these gardens without them. They do all the work, when they need something I just say when, where and how soon. Everyone pitches in to keep these gardens looking wonderful but Jane Barton is seen on a weekly basis. She's out there weeding, moving mulch around or whatever needs to be done. When you see her and the other gals tell them thank you for all their hard work they do on these gardens. Also thank you to the guys for giving up there golf day to help out. We have such a great men's and ladies club. They always step up to the plate when we need them. I would also like to thank Liam and Mattew from my day crew for helping out also. Sometimes I get a little windy writing on this blog. There's so much to say and be thankful for. The last thing I would like to mention is that in a few weeks there will be a project stated where the old starter shack sat.  We have a Boy Scout doing his eagle project and he has come up with a great plan for that space. Below you will see some picture of the wonderful people that worked on the gardens today. There may be a few people missing in them because they were in a different area when the pictures were taken. Have a great weekend. Dave

Stumps Dirt Seed

-
The title pretty much describes what we have been doing when its not raining.  We have most of the new stumps filled and seeded. We still have some from last year to fill in and seed yet.  I have put small flags in the middle of the dirt so they don't get stepped on or so carts don't drive over them. Hopefully in the next few weeks we will be filling in some bad spots with dirt and seed. There's so many spots to fill in that I can't name all the holes they are on. The really bad spots will be roped off . Please do your best to stay out of these areas. This coming week we have two high school tournaments. Tuesday we have an 8 am shot gun start with the girls then at 1:30 the boys have a shot gun start. On Wednesday we have another tournament that starts at one. On Tuesday we are hoping to start staining the club house deck weather permitting. That's it for now enjoy your day...... Brudy

Looks like the rain is going to give us a break for a few days. Just a quick update on what we are up to these days other than the daily maintenance of the golf course. Right now we are edging the bunkers. We aren’t making them any bigger. The edges are all cut we just need to clean them up and push the sand back up. On holes 15 and 16 where the brush was cut out Joe took the York Rake and cleaned all the brush up and is tearing the stumps out . These areas look really good. Please keep your carts out of these areas . On the list also is to finish staining the clubhouse deck. There’s many things to do and we will do as much as we can before the kids head back to school. Enjoy your week. Brudy

Has anybody noticed all the pine cones at the golf course this year? Its unbelievable !!!! I blow off a fairway the next day it looks like the pine cones held a party and they invited all there friends. I've never seen anything like this. Well I called in the Calvary to give me a helping hand. Steve Myhro the girls head golf coach at Mayo High School arranged to get his team of girls to give me a hand. They came armed with rakes and they went to town. It was something to see all those girls working as a team to make Eastwood a better place. The story gets better. Mayo and Century boys golf team showed up also. I took the Mayo boys over to hole 11 and we picked up all the garbage on the right and left side of that hole. Then we picked up more garbage around the pond of hole 11. As we were driving back to the front side of the golf course I asked the Mayo boys to take over raking for the gals. The Mayo girls where more than happy to hand over their rakes. The Mayo boys raked for a wh
