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

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

Chipping area

-
The chipping area is finally opened. There’s a few areas that are still in rough shape but there’s plenty of grass to open it. As of now we are going to keep the height of cut at 2.25 . When everything fills in we will gradually work the heigh of cut down to collar height which is 3/4 of an inch.  With this warm weather you may have noticed that the rough is thick and deep. We usually mow the rough once a week then on Friday mow a few passes around the fairways and mow the valleys. This week we are on our second mowing of the rough. The backnine will be done on Friday then we will make a few passes around the fairways on the front nine and if we have time mow some of the valleys. Mowing the rough twice a week isn’t easy. It takes about 14 hrs to get through the rough once. The math is easy if we are trying to mow it twice a week 28 hrs . That’s a lot of man hrs if your mowing twice a week. There’s days where we won’t have enough staff to mow the rough twice. We will do our best to keep
