Painting fairways

We are painting the fairways today and tomorrow. Nice and quick green up.

Out spraying some winter weeds

Spraying winter weeds such as PoaAnnua, Green Kalinga, Winter Rye to name a few. If you were wondering the white dots are, they are foam drops so I know where I've sprayed and not there just to make it hard to find your ball.

More snow on the way

Just when everything was starting to melt now there's more snow on the way not very good for the golf game. But we did cut a couple trees this week that might help you out the next time you play. Check out the before and after pictures.

#11 Bunker Update

Making progress on #11 bunker but there is a small stretch that is still too wet for us to continue. We will try again on Friday when it is forecasted to freeze and the ground will be harder.

#11 Bunker

If you have played Brickshire lately then you should have noticed the work we are doing on #11.  We are installing new drainage due to the fact the old one was completely clogged and we had to abandon it. The wet weather has been keeping us from progressing. We have made a few attempts at it but the ground is too soft and the equipment will not get enough traction to do the job. With more wet weather on the way it doesn't look like we are going to be advancing on it early this week either. I will keep you posted on the project. I also plan on hauling dirt to the new ladies tee boxes soon so they will be going back to their original boxes until completed.

Cart Paths

We are going to address some of the cart paths this week that have some erosion issues. Holes 5, 9 and 13 have some areas under the paths that have eroded and we plan on applying stone and drainage  to prevent further erosion.

"Frost Delays" WHY?

This is a good article and video of why we ask for frost delays on the golf course, please take a look.
I would also like to add that guessing what time the frost will be gone is truly an educated  guess and that the times that I give the pro shop may be off , so please be patient and we will get you on the course as soon as possible.
