Well, it's been another week of wild weather. Last Friday and Saturday it was in the 80's, and today had snow showers (with a little accumulation). At least yesterday was nice for DryJecting greens. Grove, Lakes and both practice greens were completed, then the surface was dragged to work any remaining sand into the turf canopy. We were planning to roll those greens today, but the snow and wet conditions prevented us from doing so. Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer and drier, so we'll try again. Orchard greens are scheduled for DryJect on Wednesday, 4/25.

So far this spring we haven't been able to perform any kind of routine mowing, but as mentioned in an earlier post, we stay busy with other tasks. This week, those tasks included:
- Pulling weeds, edging and general cleanup of the landscape beds around the clubhouse
- Removing brush that was laying in the water along the edge of the pond on lower Orchard 8 fairway
- Removing piles of aerification plugs dumped along the perimeter of some holes
- Pressurizing and testing the irrigation systems, along with making repairs when necessary
- Helping Doug uncover the pool so he can get it ready for the summer
- Trimming around and clearing blocked drainage lines to handle the excess rainfall
- Cleaning up sticks and debris from recent storms
- Repairing washouts in bunkers
