Happy New Year

For the first time in over a month we will have 18 holes open for play this afternoon.  We still have a couple of lingering patches of ice on a few greens that still need to be cleared.  Now that the snow is gone, we have to begin thinking about pressuring up our irrigation system to irrigate in the absence of moisture.  As we mentioned in earlier posts, winter dessication is a serious concern without snow cover and can set in fairly quickly with the warm dry winds we have had the last couple of days.  We try to give mother nature every opportunity to provide natural moisture, but when she fails us we have to rely on our irrigation system.
