We continued winter preparations on the golf course today. We started pumping down the pond on #7. A low pond level is desirable for drainage during the winter months. Snow accumulation throughout the winter creates a tremendous volume of water as it melts, and having the pond low is a proactive measure for the snow melt.

We took the covers off of the new forward tees on #12 and #18 to treat them with a preventative fungicide application today. As you can see from the photos below there is a nice amount of growth. The covers have helped moderate soil temperatures to improve growth this fall. They should be in really good shape this spring.
