It has been an up and down week with temperatures on the course. Yesterday morning the temp was 14 degrees and this morning it is 37. The low morning and evening temps have allowed the ground to begin freezing and have also helped the ponds to begin freezing over which has been nice for goose control. The dogs have been working hard this last week keeping the large flocks of geese passing threw off the course, there favorite landing spot is 7 pond. We are expecting some sort of precipitation this weekend with the weather front moving in, we have heard everything from rain and sleet to 2 to 6 inches of snow. Our snow removal equipment is ready for any sort of snow fall we may see.
The snowshoe and cross country ski trail has been marked again with 6 foot fence posts. We will be marking the post tips with blaze orange paint to better help guide the trail users this winter. We will open the trail as soon as there is enough snow on the ground to groom and maintain it.
We have installed a snow fence behind the black tee on #14 to keep out snowmobiles this winter, there are a few other locations that we will be adding fence to also. Last winter we had a small issue with snowmobiles getting onto the course from the woods on 14. Hopefully this winter with the addition of the fences and no trespassing signs we can keep them off the course.
