In the grounds department this winter, we are operating with the smallest crew in our history, 11 people. That includes 2 managers, 2 mechanics, and 7 on the crew. This number is down significantly from the past when we would staff 20 guys in the winter. We are trying to staff strong from March -November when our season is busy, then really back off when our play drops.
The winter tasks of this eleven man crew includes:
- Blowing greens
- Check bunkers
- Clubhouse and tennis maintenance
- Blow and clean up leaves
- Spraying for winter weeds
- Irrigation and drainage projects
- Preventative maintenance of equipment
- Grinding of reels for the mowers
- Hydrojecting of greens
- Mowing grass if needed
- Filling divots on driving range tees
- Cleaning of shop and equipment
- And other miscellaneous tasks
We thank everyone for another great year and look forward to the year to come.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Nick Cauley and the Grounds Staff
