Golf course conditions

If your like me your sick of this cold weather. It looks like this coming week isn’t going to get any warmer. As a good friend I mine told me “ just roll with it” So that’s what I’m going to do, “roll with it”. There’s nothing anyone can do to change the weather. Even with these cool days I’ve been able to get out and blow off the debris on the front nine greens. Some of the greens still have snow on them.  The greens on the front nine came out of the winter pretty good. Some of the greens have vole damage on the collars and banks. They will heal up but it will take some time. Still  not sure  when we will open, still thinking around the 10th or 15 of April or later. Below I took some pictures of the course. Some show the damage the voles did and the others are pictures of the snow left on the course and pictures of where some trees where taken down.. Happy Easter 😊😊😊 Dave

What a great day. The sun was out which was nice. The Mayo Girls Golf Team and Coach Myhro came out and finished raking up the rest of the branches from the trees we took down this winter and they raked up the pine cones around the big practice green and the chipping green.. Let me tell you something, these gals are workers. They came with rakes and gloves and away they went. They never wondered off and they worked as a team. Coach Myhro worked right beside them. The girls had music playing, when taking a break they where playing duck duck grey duck .  Everything they did was as a team. I was so impressed with that. Coach Myhro and his assistants have this program going in the right direction. Below I have some pictures of the girls working and taking a team break. Thanks again girls I really appreciate everything you do for me. Have a great season!!!!

Snow snow

It was a beautiful day but we still have a lot of snow on the course. I would like to thank the Mayo boys  High School golf team and there coach for coming out to Eastwood and picking up brush in the woods today, It was greatly appreciated.  On a side note with the course getting close to opening please don’t walk or train your dogs on the golf course. There’s frost in the morning and with you walking on the grass your killing it. We are a golf course not a dog park. So please respect our golf course by keeping your dogs off the golf course. Thank you. Dave 

Course update

Well it's hard to believe I haven't posted anything in two years. Lets just say the blog was under major construction for two years.  I'll bet everyone is wondering when Eastwood is going to open. I'm going to go with some where between April 10 and April 15. The weather is not helping us at all. The frost is pretty deep this year and we need warm weather during the day and some warm rain would also help to get the frost out of the ground. The other problem is the lows at night. There so low at night everything refreezes at night. So we need Mother Nature to figures out that it's suppose to be spring and not winter.  When we open up its usually the front nine first and walking only. As soon as the back nine drys out then we will open the back nine. Trust me I'm as eager as you  to get the golf course opened. I will keep you updated if we can open any earlier. Thanks for being patient ... Dave
