Springtime at PGC  

It sure doesn't feel like spring today. Its 42 degrees with a real feel of 38. Taking a look at our spring check list, we can scratch off the bunker and cart path projects since they are complete. Last week we also completed aerification on the greens and tees. Our big labor and time intensive projects all done, we just need to finish the raised flower bed on #1 tee.

Some other things we still have on our check list include addressing the bare areas under the Sugar Maples, the drainage problem at the end of the cart path at #3 tee and the removal of invasive plant material around the river's edge. All things that we would like to have wrapped up by Memorial Day.

We are looking forward to planting flowers, our college help returning and a little warmer weather in May. If anyone is still interested in donating a tree, please let us know.
