GOLF COURSE UPDATE 2/5/25

WINTER WORK EQUIPMENT

• Most carts, rollers, aerators, and tractors are now serviced. New batteries for electric carts are being ordered for install once the weather warms. New lights being installed on carts, rollers, and fairway mowers.
• White Pickup Truck in shop due to blown transmission.
• Takeuchi has been flushed, drained, new valves/seals, etc. Starts and runs as of now but needs $5,000 new DPF Exhaust filter. On order from Japan. TBD on delivery and repair by outside mechanic.
• Fairway Mowers rebuild of roller bearing kits and grinding service to begin 2/10/25 as they are now 8 yrs old with over 3,000 hrs. and need a major overhauling.
• All cutting units have been cleaned, sharpened, greased on site as of 12/31 except our fairway cutting units which will be completed in the coming weeks. Once the 70+ cutting units are complete we then service machines and make any necessary repairs. 

WINTER WORK PROPERTY

• Backside of brick wall along front circle, island between pond and parking lot, property line along parking lot, #3 left property line cleared, chipped, and trash cleaned up of saplings, branches, under growth.
• Continue the clearing of small under growth, saplings, and fallen branches in wooded buffer areas, outside front circle, buffer area between road and parking lot, parking lot property line, left of hole #2, left of #6 tee, and outside of front circle We have some larger tree work to complete but until we make repairs to our TL-10 Takeuchi we will not be able to move wood.
• Reached out to all employees to do a check in, as I always do, to gauge their interest in returning for the upcoming and see how their time away is going. I think this is important, so our men don’t feel like they are forgotten while they are away. These guys are the driving force that allows us all to look good and be proud of our property.
• Tree Work scheduled for 2/11/25 this work will start with the dead trees around the property then move to Brent’s hit list. Unfortunately, due to the Tak being out of commission we have not done any in-house tree takedowns and instead have focused on important property line detail which is equally as important.
• Shopping vendors for employee uniforms.
• Property detail as needed from winter or windstorms as needed. We always have someone here for storms and always have someone check the grounds daily.
• All reporting from 2024 closed out and all EOP placed to maximize savings.
• Attended PGA Show with Dan and Nick. Thank you to both for a great experience of work, golf, and High Groove Tour.
