The Crew is full bore this week making new benches, repairing storm damage, refreshing parking lot, among other things!

Your Publisher ran into Mark Lucier at Alchemy having a birthday dinner with wife Laurie, son Bastile and wife and brother Jeff. All the best Mark.

As always, we will not reveal his age, but i assure you, he will never have to worry about shooting it!

Thanks Dylan and Mr. Dolby!

A little paint and some landscaping we will be good to go!

Ken plans to use these 30″ mowers for tee, bunker, and green surrounds. We think the results will speak for themselves in appearance, quality and playability. ( tougher playability! )

In any case, thanks, Members for your continued support of purchasing first rate equipment!

The Golf Course and the Bagroom will be open all weekend.

The entire staff walked the golf course today to review the property and contour the shapes and outlines of the various “cuts” on the golf course. We have pushed back some high rough areas, added 15 yards to the front of the 1st fairway and identified some ares of the course that need attention. The crew has pretty much finished the annual clean-up of the grounds which was especially tough this year due to the amount and intensity of all the storms we had.

In addition to the work we planned on today, Ken would like to “eyebrow” a large number of fairway bunkers. It is a nice detail to a bunker edge that will enhance and accent the historic atmosphere of the property. The treatment does take some additional care and it is important that the eyebrow areas be considered sensitive and not be walked on or through, anyway more on that later.

We are very excited about the upcoming season and hope that warmer weather is right around the corner.

Ken Magnuson spotted this little fellow early this morning……
