Grounds Cart Fleet Repairs.



I know, I know, enough of the winter already.  I put an order in for good weather weeks ago!  This time in the shop, however;  is allowing us to get to all of the problems we have sitting around the shop for repairs. The pictures below show a cart that had a broken frame through 30 + years of use.  The staff fitted some round tubing and some solid welds to make the frame viable again.  We also added a small bed with some scrap metal for a blower holder or transporting small tools.  A hitch was also added to be able to tow a roller, trailer or blower around the golf course.  The forecast looks like a warming trend into this weekend.  Lets hope we warm up quickly, we need to melt the ice off of our greens that has been set up for 3 months.

Spring Is Coming, Right?!






Just a few of my favorite pictures of the golf course that will hopefully spark some spring weather!  The deep snow pack on the course is around 1.5 feet as I write this but I am hopeful in a couple weeks we will be out there to to evaluate how we wintered this tough weather.  I am hopeful for a gradual warm up without the unwanted fluctuations in temperature that seem to cause the most problems for our fine turf......
