3-9-18 Time For A Change…

It’s time for spring and golf to really get started.  This weekend we Spring forward an hour meaning we continue to gain minutes and push daybreak back an hour.  So Sunday March 11 sunrise will be 7:47 and sunset will be 7:34.  We gain time each day and by the end of the month we pick up an hour of daylight.

So, just to let you know everything is very saturated.  you will see some tire tracks next to the paths on the high ground.  That is where I used the 4-wheel drive Steiner to turn around to clean off the paths.  On #13, I pulled off to let Noah get through to scrape the silt with the skid steer and I almost got stuck 8″ off the path.

So don’t go off the path it will be a muddy mess.  I actually scraped the mud off my left shoe and pant leg so I won’t be in trouble dropping mud all over the house when I get home.

There is also some large tree debris down and much grass/corn stalks dropped at the high water mark.  It will be several weeks before we get dry enough to sweep this up.  That is after we get our crew called back from being off this winter.

We did lose more stream bank on #15 tees.  It looks like it may be as much as 10′ washed away.  We will go out later this week and take some measurements.
