The cold weather has made it's return! The past week has been nothing short of frigid! The ground that was wet and soft just ten days ago is now frozen rock solid. We still have patches of ice and snow in some areas. The crew spent their time finishing trimming trees along 5 fence line, behind 5 green and around the surrounds of 3 green. We will move indoors to clean, service and prepare the turf equipment for the upcoming season until the rain/snow passes. Next week we are starting to trench in some new irrigation throughout the course in perennially dry areas. I will be updating our progress next week.
Today marks the beginning of mobilization of equipment on # 8 for the upcoming restoration. Our golf course contractor is Total Turf and with golf course architect Brian Schneider from Renaissance Golf, they will be teaming up to open a new chapter in Llanerch's storied history.
