The reel grinding has finally been completed, and the machines are almost all put back together. Our mechanic Mel is very happy with the job Mike has done grinding all the reels. We are continuing repairs and maintenance to the equipment fleet (brakes, batteries, hydraulic leaks, oil leaks, engine repairs/replacements, and anything else that needs attention) in order to give ourselves a smooth start to the season.
We have also been able to take down 11 trees that were approved for removal. There is still some debris to be picked up from the tree removal that will be taken care of once the ground freezes back up. If the forecast holds up, we should be able to be out next week picking up the logs and branches still remaining.
We have also set up a Twitter account for the grounds department this year. We will be sending out tweets informing those following us of what's happening on the course in real time. whether it is course conditions, or witnessing a member hit a hole in one, I think this will be a fun way to keep all of you informed of the little things happening at the club. Just go to twitter.com and sign up. Once you're signed up just search for LakewoodCC Greens@LCC_Supt and choose to follow us. Download the Twitter App on your smart phone, and you will have constant access to our twitter feeds. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to send me an email (dan@lakewoodcountryclub.com) or just stop me and ask.
