Course Update

While the brutal temperatures can be difficult on turfgrass, I believe greens will come through in fine shape this spring. There is no ice buildup and the turf looked excellent as of last week. We continue to remove snow as needed. There is typically some damage in low lying fairway areas and I would expect this to recur.

Equipment refurbishment is on schedule. The equipment that is stored outside will need extra resources to get it back into shape; year around exterior storage is hard on our equipment. We have about $500,000 worth of equipment that is stored out in the elements.

Work Space

Thank you to the members at Oakland Hills for reinvesting in the work space environment. Our "new" shop floor is safer, easier to clean and sets a professional atmosphere for visitors. A clean, well organized work space improves moral and lets the staff now their work matters.
