Winter Projects

With all the great snow cover this winter we have been keeping ourselves pretty busy in the maintenance shop.  I always get the question from golfers, friends, and family, what do you do in the winter time?  Well this winter we have rebuilt the dumpster doors for the dumpster holding area at the clubhouse.  We have sanded and preserved the driving range benches.  We have also vinyl guarded all of the bunker rakes (video coming soon), flag sticks, 150yd poles, and repainted all of the traffic control blocks.

What we do when there is snow on the gound.

There seems to be more going on in the maintenance shop during the winter than the summer

I always get the question from our golfers, what do you guys do when there is snow on the ground?  Even though there is not much work to be done outside there is always something for us to do inside.  This week we are working on refinishing the driving range dividers, painting the green traffic control blocks, and rebuilding the cutting units for our greens mowers.  We have a pretty full week worth of work when there are over 400 4x4x8 blocks that need to be cleaned, sanded, and painted and 26 range dividers that need to be sanded, stained, and re-spiked.
