Fingers crossed this is the last of the frigid nights to come for a bit, it’s amazing what a little warmth has done.
What a difference a week makes! Tree removals complete for the 24/25’ season. Stump grinding and cleanup to start next week. Tree debris and first course cleanup areas taking place this week.
With some warm weather ahead, and nighttime lows not overly frigid we are starting the process of snowblowing 2-6”snow off a few of the necessary greens. 1.5-2.5” pocketed ice layer underneath now exposed ready for some sunshine and melting.
Thankyou @GCSAA for accepting me into the #melroseleadershipacademy. Last week was exciting, empowering and exhausting. A great group of guys that grew my professional network and a fantastic schedule of education. Many thanks!
Excited to be in San Diego attending #GIS as a #MelroseLeadershipAcademy attendee. Agronomy education, leadership involvement and networking!
With weather not on our side the plan was just 1 large ash tree removal before the winds picked up. Wind got us during cleanup but these guys gave it their all and completed the job.
Couple more big pines removed today. First pine removed exposed some beautiful maples to highlight the edge of hole, 2nd removed brings morning sun to a wet fairway and eliminates a cart exit pinch point.
Went quiet on the platform for a while with job transition but it’s time to bring back some Blazer and new course posts.
New course, new position opening. Great opportunity for anyone in the industry to advance their career and join a new team dedicated to their profession. The Haven Country Club, Boylston Ma. 2nd assistant/AIT, full time/yearly.
Just a couple more days at @wedgewoodpines then it’s off to #TheHaven. Morning cuts, a little sand topping of tees, and an infiltration spray on greens.
Excited for the next career adventure! Just shy of 9 years as Maintenance of Wedgewood course superintendent. Bittersweet but going to be a great move for the family and I.
2 week turnaround on 8 Hill and 18 Fairway extension. 10,000ft2 of sod to keep alive during a September drought. Guys doing amazing!! @wedgewoodpines
Already seeing good growth and recovery on our first weekend post aeration at @wedgewoodpines. I fully expect next wknd to be over 90% recovered & rolling beautifully. Roll only thru this wknd, collar/approach aeration Mon, then full force mowing to get us back in stride Tues.
Another day of sunrise to sunset workflow. Remaining greens 5/8” cored and all 19 greens worth of plug piles shoveled and blown. All top dressing is down. Thanks guys! Rest up. More to do tomorrow.
