New trees

-

Well the men's club has done it again . On Saturday they planted 32 trees on the back nine of Eastwood Golf Course.  It was a beautiful day to work outdoors  . It was a great team effort.  Everything went very well. The digging for Shorty wasn't to bad. He hit some rock and clay in a few places but also found some nice black dirt.  There was trees planted on hole 13, 14, 18, 11, and a tree by 17 men's tee box.
I am so proud of our men's club. When they set there mind to do something watch out they get stuff done. The tree planting is not done yet. The Rochester Park and Rec is going to match our men's club tree donations up to a specific amount. I believe it's some where between 4 to 5 thousand dollars. Isn't that great. So if you would like to donate money to our tree fund stop into the club house and talk to Jeff or Drew.  No donation is to small. If you have any questions please call our pro shop at  507 281 6173.  Here is a few pictures to show you the hard work the boys did last Saturday.  Take care... 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
