Technology is pretty cool, I am currently doing up this post while heading back to Regina for a wedding. We definitely had an interesting week with the course receiving around a foot of snow and closing the course for 4 days. We are now back in action trying to finalize our irrigation system run through and fertilization of our fairways and rough. As well 95 percent of our staff are new this season so we are busy training everyone all the different tasks that must be completed on the golf course. I am very happy with the crews progress as many of them have no golf course experience. Everyone is coming into their own and showing their strengths, which will in turn help us get into a good routine.
We are starting to see more and more animal activity in the area, with a couple of new elk calves being born in the area. We have not had any bears on the course during the day but they have been passing through the area so it will only be a matter of time before we start dealing with them. The majority of the elk have moved off the course, mainly due to the irrigation cycles that keep them on their toes at night. We still get the occasional elk damage to our greens which can take considerable time to repair, but thats just another issue to deal with on a mountain golf course.
Everyone have a great weekend.
End of 2012 season
