SNOW GONE! GREAT SHAPE! SUN HEADING NORTH!

Put another Wisconsin winter in the books, we came through in flying colors! No snow mold, no winter kill! Our snow mold fungicides worked great and they were applied flawlessly by our Operations Manager, Mark Mejchar and Assistant Superintendent, Bryan Bergner.  Yes, the course is still very wet and frost is still in the ground and it might snow alittle next week but it sure was nice to walk all 18 holes and see grass again.

Most likely, it will be about 2 weeks before we open the greens, so if you come out to play the course backwards, as it is set up now with cups and flags in the tees, please do not walk over the greens as you make your way to the next teeing area, located about 25 yards infront of the green at a blue 3 foot tall wooden stake. Our greens are very soft and wet and if you walk on them now your going to leave depressions behind that will play havoc with your putting 2 to 3 weeks from now.

Here are a few photo's from my walk today.
