Need Firewood?

Even though the majority of golfers and the Pro Shop staff would probably disagree with me, there are some benefits of frost delays. One being, my staff is able to spend more time working around the shop working on things that we seem to never have time for when we are busy on the golf course. For example, chopping wood from the collection of trees from the golf course that have lived a nice long life and have moved on or from trees whose life was "cut" short from the storms and high winds we have had throughout the year. Bad news for them. However, it is good news for anyone who needs firewood. If you have any need for some firewood, let me know.

This what is left to chop.
This is the final resting place. Not all of this is from this year.  If you need firewood, come and get it!

Lake #18 Dredging and Erosion Repair

Due to the heavy rains and flooding that we had in December, we accumulated an enormous amount of silt in the Lake on Hole #18. Consequently, we were unable to finish the waterfall project that we had started. However, we have begun removing the silt and sludge from the lake and are dredging it to a depth of 4-5 feet. We are using the silt to build up the sides of the lake that have eroded over the years. After all of this is completed, we will then be able to install the pump that will be used for the waterfall. Thank you for your patience during this process as this might take a couple of weeks to complete.
