This past week you might have thought that it was a slow week for us here at maintenance, when actually it was a very productive one. With snow being on the ground for 4 out of the 5 days and light winds, we took advantage of the opportunity and burned our brush piles out at #17. These limbs and debris are from our routine trimming we do around the course throughout the year. During this past week, we were able to get everything burned that we needed to. The snow allowed us to have a bigger fire than we normally would have which in return, lets us push bigger piles in with our tractor instead of just hand feeding it. We ended up getting a years worth of trimming burned up in just a few days.
Also, please remember that we will be aerifying greens 2 times this spring. We will be deep tining on March 17th and then turning around and doing our traditional aerification on Monday, March 23rd. As long as the weather continues to stay warm, our holes should be healed in 7-10 days.
