Bunkers getting put back together the past couple days. We still have some sand to add to some bunkers, and some liner to replace. Off to a good start though!

One of the tenets of our department is “positivity”, and it’s often said that “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” In light of that notion, sweet gum trees have beautiful color in the fall, and are wonderful for a park or wooded setting. 🤐✌️🫡

Another day, another burn. We also help out burning off natives in a few of our parks. One of the old guys could t take the heat. It was on the list to be removed anyways. 🔥

24 Days of Christmas Day - 15 Today, turning our to the golf course. Tee grading and building is something we enjoy! Over time, wear and tear, frequent top dressing, filling divots, and continuous use can cause tee boxes to become crowned and uneven.

24 Days of Christmas Day - 16 Deeptine is a game-changer for putting greens! This critical practice improves root growth, improves water infiltration, & reduces compaction. The result, healthier turf & smooth, faster greens for an exceptional golfing experience.

Home for the holidays!!! A lovely dinner at Ruth’s Chris with the family. It’s nights like this that make the sacrifices worth it. It’s tough being away from my family, but their love and support makes it all worth it. I’m so happy to do what I love at a wonderful club that I love. Even Duke got a treat!!
