Ice Damage

Some of you may be wondering how the course and club held up with the passing of the most recent storm that came through. We did have some ice damage throughout the club but it was not nearly as severe as we saw in the winter of 2009. A few trees did come down on the roadsides. Below is a picture of a big oak that came down across club drive, not far from the entrance.

 No trees came down on the course but there are quite a few limbs. We had 1.8 inches of precipitation with the passing of this storm. The course was too wet to work on today but I did drive around to look for any major damage. When it dries enough we will get to work cleaning up and assess any trees that may need additional work as a result of this storm. It's easy to spot what is on the ground but we must continually look for broken limbs that may still be in the tree which could be a hazard in the future. In the mean time, you can see we have plenty to clean up!

Picture Problems Resolved

I'm sorry for the long delay but I think I'm finally up and running again. I can finally post pictures again so here we go. As I mentioned in my last post, the driving range tee has been completed and sodded.

 

This is the area behind #17 green. It was getting grown up again with little trees that would eventually block our beautiful view so we went down the hill a bit and cleared what we could.

Thanks again for your patience while I got these problems resolved. I'll keep you all updated as we work on some winter projects and get ready for another great season at the Gap!
