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 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 […]
On Wednesday, I was out taking some photos of the golf course when I noticed a familiar foursome. Yep, that’s right. Our outside crew was out playing a little golf after their morning of work. We thought that we might try to conquer the weather and our quest to get the items stained by bringing […]
First of all. Guy Alert. This post is about Women’s Clothing and refinishing furniture. If you’re interested, read on. Otherwise, you can check out some man projects right here! We have tried all kinds of ways to attract women golfers to purchase our products. Over the years, we’ve tried golf cook books, different styles of […]
Last year, we had a severe drought. Our golf course actually ran out of water. It was the first time in our 40 years of business that all of the creek beds that feed our course’s ponds dried up. By the end of the season, we looked pretty rough. In order to keep the greens […]
It’s kind of hard to believe when you look outside today at the beautiful green grass and bright blue sky, but we were covered in snow on Saturday. When I was getting ready for the minigolf outing that we had that day, I noticed water pouring out of the side of our driving range hill. […]
As you may or may not know, we’ve been working on creating a new ceremony site at the golf course. It all started last year, when the drought caused our ponds to go dry. With an empty pond, we decided to take advantage of it and build a peninsula that would double as a ceremony […]
Dick and Doug are honing in their carpentry skills again now that fall is upon us. Up until a few weeks ago, they have been mowing and maintaining the grounds at the golf course. They claim they enjoy this break from the norm. I’m glad they do! I asked them what time they would be […]
Cooler temperatures mean that our grass is growing at a slower rate. We have been continuing to water in our grass because we planted almost 15 acres of seed and we want it to be well established in the spring. Our outside crew has less grass to mow, so they have some time available to […]
First of all. I need to apologize about this post on two levels. 1) It’s really late. I forgot I had these pictures on my camera. 2) I wasn’t the one who took these pictures. I forgot to tell my staff member to change the white balance, so these pictures are a little weird. As […]
Did you catch tonight's lovely sunset?
