It’s no secret to anyone living in Michigan that this winter
has been incredibly snowy and cold.
According to USA Today, Detroit has received 48.6 inches of snow to date
this year when the normal average for an entire winter here is 42.7 inches. Hopefully everyone has a great snow blower
because we still have two more months of winter left! I think I can comfortably say that everyone’s
ready for some sunshine, warm weather, and golf!
All of our staff remains busy even beyond snow clearing by
continuing to trim low hanging tree branches across the property. The North course is complete and we’re now
busy tackling the West course.

In the shop, Hector has been very busy servicing all our equipment
and preparing for the 2014 season. Part
of preparing for this coming season was eliminating inefficiencies from 2013, by
building custom trailers for hauling push mowers, weed whips, and backpack
blowers. The need for this trailer was
due to the difficulty of loading and hauling these tools in the bed of our John
Deere Gators as well as safety for employees.
Last summer we noticed that a lot of time was lost by loading and
unloading these tools from the bed of a cart because they didn’t fit well and
the mowers were awkward and heavy to lift.
Hector built the first of two custom trailers last week and it turned
out great. The small equipment can now
be safely loaded, unloaded, and hauled across the property.
