Un-Retired …..Again!

[rgfixit]

Thanks for the info. I appreciate that. Hope you folks get thawed out soon.

Busy…busy…busy at the course. Starting at 5:30 now. Mowed greens yesterday. The guys started on rough….finally. Not easy with the 1 1/4” of rain we got on Monday.  Hopefully it’ll dry out over the next few days.

Fired up the irrigation system yesterday. No geysers of major wet spots to be found as yet. That’s a huge win at this point. Won’t need it for a while yet but charging the system now will give us time to repair some valves and leaky heads. The system is mostly original from 1987 and really needs an upgrade.

We have a trencher coming to augment drainage in certain areas. The search is on for buried or clogged drains. Hard to recover a system that’s been neglected for so many years by a string of poor superintendents.

But, we’re making progress.

Just caught up on a few pages.  Glad to read how much you're enjoying it RG.

Getting there. Crazy wet spring.

Such a beautiful, unique course. Happy to be an integral part.

Just hope to play a few rounds soon.

I’m off today. Thought about playing a round with my Son, but, it’s too damned cold.

Probably just play on the wood shop and maybe mow my lawn later.

The chaos that ensues with an hour and a half frost delay.


9 guys and machines waiting for the “BOOTS AND SADDLES” order.

We got it done anyway.

The joys of irrigation startup.



The reason one doesn’t stand over a quick coupler when pressurizing a system.

1” copper pipe in the face isn’t any fun. That’ll leave a mark!

Back when I was running the night time watering at local course I was removing hose from quick disconnect at the valve was stuck open. Blow my hat 15 feet in the air. Lesson. Never have your head over the valve. Always off to the side.

Haven’t seen you around here in ages. Hope you’re well!

My Son and I had the day off so we played the course this morning. Can’t tell you how much fun it was. We had the course to ourselves with no pressure to play.

We both played well and didn’t talk “golf course” for more than a minute or two. Course was the best I’ve ever seen. Thinking I’ll be playing every Thursday morning for the rest of the summer.

Nice!

Nice, that's way cool, had a guy rush up on us on one of my last outings, so I let him go, then had to wait quite a bit on him.

Just another day that the office.




Love taking care of this golf course.

This old girl was laying  eggs in the side of #12 bunker as I came through this morning.



We see lot of them this time of year.

That's cool!
