Golfers. Start Your Engines.

Apr 03, 2013

In a family run business, everyone just chips in. Clogged toilet? I’m on it. Carpets need cleaning. Yep! That, too. Tables and chairs need moved around for a party? Garbage left in the driveway. There is no shame. You get dirty. You get pulled away from your “real” job. You just chip in. Same goes […]

Burn Baby. Burn

Project List

In the spring, we burn down all of the grasses that grow along the pond banks as well as along the front of the clubhouse’s landscaping. It’s a great trick to turn the grass green much faster. It seems like this year, the grass just doesn’t want to turn green. I can’t remember the last […]

The Science of Garbage

Golf Course

Garbage detail is always a good indicator of the busyness of the golf course. Lots of garbage. We were busy. Not much garbage. Not so busy. Yeah. It’s highly scientific. Steve is our official garbage man. Steve’s nickname around these parts is Smiley. He is always smiling. Even when it is 32 degrees, there is […]

Seed. Seed. More Seed.

Our Green Thumb

We have had several consecutive years of interesting weather. Hum. Ok. Maybe I should use the word challenging. In 2010, we had more water than we knew what to do with. It basically rained every single day. On 6 separate days, we had to close the course. When you really only have about 100 days of […]

Grass Seed is King this Spring

Our Green Thumb

We have been seeding this spring. My husband, Kelly, always likes to comfort me by telling me that the seed only costs about $1 per pound. The trouble with that? We order about 5,000 pounds of seed. We use a rye/bluegrass mix. The rye grass germinates quickly, while the bluegrass is a more hardy grass.The […]

Our Green Thumb

Our outside staff spends lots of time on this John Deere tractor. They are required to sing country songs about tractors while they work. Ok. Not really required. Maybe just encouraged. We like to keep our outside staff happy. No falling asleep on the job, though. In preparation for the rain that is predicted, we […]

Project. Project. Man. I want to be a Project Man.

Please sing that title to the tune of Macho Man. It will make you smile. Or maybe not. As I told you earlier, we have been blessed to have a great crew. Not the least of which is our outside staff who also happen to be great carpenters. Evidence seen HERE. They have been building […]

Golf Course, Our Green Thumb, Project List

There is a common catch phrase in the golf industry. It goes something along the lines of cleverly calling irrigation irritation. That’s right. There is nothing that can cause a golf superintendent’s hair to turn gray faster than irrigation. To get things started, we have to get prepared from the winter. In Iowa, we have… […]

Winter Uglies Get the Axe

Golf Course, Project List

The problem with having a 100 foot wall of windows is that you have a 100 foot wall of windows. Windows that get little kid finger prints, elbow marks from doors opening, and the grime of winter. All easily visible. Please note the finger print in the middle of that picture. We definitely should have […]

Golf Course, Project List

As we mentioned in the posts here and here, we have lots of staining projects up our sleeve for the coming year. Unfortunately, the weather hasn’t been cooperating for us to get our stain on with these outside projects. That’s when we decided that if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em! That’s right. We decided […]
