As I often get asked "What do you guys do all winter?" Well, we actually tear down every mower in our fleet of many mowers to replace bearings, change seals and grind and sharpen reels and blades to head off any possible problems that would arise during the season. The old saying goes..."An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" rings true with our operation daily. We also address all course accessories from tee markers to benches to ball washers to spike cleaners. This time certainly allows us the opportunity to address the issues we don't have time to address during the season. When weather allows, we are on the course trimming trees chipping the limbs and when we get 2 feet of snow we are responsible for the snow removal at the clubhouse. Our job is multi-faceted to say the least!
