After some welcomed recent sun, and warm temperatures, the seeming never ending snow is melting. Currently we are clearing snow around tee decks, surrounds of greens, and fairways with the skid steer (bobcat). We have also started clearing everyones favourite, elk droppings, which are everywhere!
I personally would like to welcome our new wave of staff who joined us on Monday. Including our foreman for the season, James Bryce. Even though James has only been with us for three days, I have certainly been impressed by his leadership through the team. I look forward to him spending the summer out here with us.
I would also like to commend the rest of our staff who have been here since day one. They have definately kept their work rate to the high standards they set for themselves since they arrived.
Special mention goes to Mitch Davidson, our Assistant Superintendant. Mitch has worked tirelessly assembling the crew since December among all the other goings on of the maintenance department. The guidance and advice he has given to all has been second to none. Even though he is a hockey goalie, and from what i'm led to believe, a strange breed!!
Calvin McNeely (Superintendant) along with his wife Linda have been forever blowing snow off the fairways, cart paths and greens. In an effort to clear these areas and get the snow to melt, so we can keep up our preperation for opening day.
All in all, despite the mammoth snow fall over the winter, which has been a major set back, but out of our hands. Slowly but surely, everything is starting to come together. If mother nature decides to be kind to us and bring some sun and warm weather, opening day will be just around the corner!
