Yesterday looks to be the last time we will mow green for the foreseeable future. It also marked the last day for most of the Grounds Maintenance staff. As some of you might know, the seasonal staff is made of almost entirely H2B visa employees from Mexico. Ulises, Miguel, Alfredo, Yogi, Chewy, Eduardo, Luis and Tomas have been employees of Llanerch for any where between 3-7 years! They have always appreciated being part of the Llanerch Team. I can not thank them enough for their daily contributions. If there are no changes to the federal H2B visa program, I plan to see all of them next year. Muchas Gracias!
Another day without rain. That has been the story for the last 2 weeks. We have been working hard to keep the course with just enough water to keep the plants alive and still be firm and fast. You will also notice that we are no longer mowing the intermediate cut around fairways. With the planned addition of 3 to 4 acres of fairway, it was deemed unnecessary to keep it. If you have any questions regarding the renovation, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you and see you on the course!
