I have. But it takes some specialized tooling to do deep hollowing on a lathe.

I thought about taking a core out with the band saw though. Might try it when we get to removing some trees at the course.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

First outdoor project today. Repaired a washed out culvert under a cart path.













My Son did most of the tamping, I did most of the shoveling. Super ran the backhoe.In the end it turned out to be a solid repair.

Things are greening up quick.






I may be putting the first mow on greens tomorrow.

The herd was out to greet me yesterday.






Sure hope I’m sitting on a greens mower tomorrow. I love mowing greens.

Put out half a dozen bird houses today as well.




A good start to the season.

Well, we considered mowing greens yesterday, but, looking at the weather for the coming week we decided against it. The greens and approaches were treated with an anti fungal last fall. If we took the top growth off we most likely would have had to spray them again due to the weather conditions. About $3k of material. Not justified for the amount of play at this point. Club won’t open till 5/1.

They kicked the start date for the crew back to 4/1. My Son and I are still working every day. Fixing equipment, organizing and clearing 20 years worth of debris and overgrowth from around the shops. Also did a fair bit of cart path repairs.
That will continue. We’ll be dragging, aerating and deep coring fairways soon.

What a pleasure it is to work with a real superintendent who knows agronomy and equipment maintenance. I’m learning sooooo much.

And….I’m getting anxious to jump on a mower.

My lawn is soft on top with frost underneath it.  Can’t even take my wheeler out unless I head straight down into the woods..   Mud season in March… :P

Over the past couple weeks I’ve been refurbishing a dozen bird houses we found buried in the shop. They’re now out on the course in various locations.




I have material for another dozen or so. The owners and our Super are all in with putting houses all over the course. They’re going to feature me installing a house on their social media platform with an article about our involvement with Nestwatch. It’ll be a really cool part of my Job.

Mowed the first green of the season today.



We decided to hold off a week on the rest. Still too soft.

Made me happy to be the first on a mower.

Yeah, a lot of work so far. So much more to do. We’re anxious to get out on the grass. Weather isn’t cooperating though. Calling for a high of 27 on Sunday and a low of 18.

Stupid cold for this time of year.

I guess!
Another couple months and we’ll be complaining that it’s too hot.
