Path completed

-

The sun is out and the course is filled with golfers. What else could we ask for. Carts!!!! yes carts will be let out tomorrow,  Monday April 30 Th.. We are dry enough to let carts out but please watch out for bad spots. Hole 2 in the valley is still wet. Hole 3, going down the valley may be a little slick.  Hole 7 going down the hill on the right side where the white tees are usually at, very wet stay away from that area. There might even still be snow on the hill. On the back nine stay on the cart paths as long as you can. The hill on 12 is still very wet, that area is still a free drop.  Holes 15  stay out of the area to the right. Its always wet in that area. Hole 16 is in good shape and dry. I will be putting up rope around greens and other areas where we don't want carts to go. If you have a handicap flag you are allowed to enter these areas,  but please don't park on the collars or on any part of the greens. If you have other people playing in your group and they have carts they are not allowed to follow you into these restricted areas.  Please remind them of that. Respect the course, theres reasons why we put rope and cart signs up.  Also respect the carts. There not bumper cars,  there not meant to run into trees and most of all there not meant to drive on the greens and tee boxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Saturday there was a new exit path put in on hole 12.  If you remember this area has been washed out for a very long time. Our landscape guru Shorty came up with a plan and we hammered it out yesterday.  I would like to thank Shorty and Joe Jenkins for all there hard work yesterday.  Also thank you Shorty for bringing in the proper equipment so we could get this project done. Below you will see what we accomplished . Enjoy the pictures.   Dave. (Brudy)

Where did my ball go ???

It’s been a few weeks that I haven’t written so I thought I would touch base with everyone and tell you what’s happening at Eastwood. My staff has started painting the clubhouse deck. When we get another nice day we will finish it up. The new white tee on hole 15 is just about ready to open. I believe we are a week out then we will open it. We are preparing for a busy week. On Monday we have a special event for the 18 hole ladies. On Wednesday we have an Mga tournament that starts at 7:30 am. On Thursday we have a special event for the 9 hole ladies. We have been preparing the golf course since last week to get ready for these events. It takes a lot of work to get ready for 3 events in one week. I’m very proud of my staff and they have excepted the challenge and there doing a great job. I’ve been hearing a lot of comments about why is the rough so long and that’s where I got my title from. Believe it or not we have been mowing the rough almost twice a week. Here’s what’s going on. ...

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 ...

Course clean up

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...
