We recently took delivery of a new piece of equipment that will make it easier to maintain our pond and creek banks. Normally, the staff has to use string trimmers, brush cutters, and sometimes chainsaws to keep the weeds and brush knocked down around the ponds and creeks. The new sickle-bar mower will do the same job as several staff members in half the time or less.

| Cutting vegetation along the pond edge of Orchard #8 lower fairway |
 |
| The 48" long sickle-bar mower slices through grass, brush & small trees up to 2" in diameter |
 |
| The hydraulically controlled unit attaches to the front of an articulating tractor we use to mow rough around greens, tees & bunkers |
 |
| Even though it's cold & snowy, we resumed mowing the outer rough this week along with cleaning up dead apple trees |
