Green Speed: 8' 10''
Mowing and Cultural Practice: Greens, fairways, aprons, collection areas, teess and collars will be cut this morning. Bunkers will be raked. Please note: We have lowered the height of cut on tees, collars and aprons to .5 of an inch; bunker maintenance resumed this week.
Projects: All projects have been completed for the season. This is two weeks ahead of schedule due to an increase in labour to accelerate the projects and the unseasonably warm and dry weather. Thank you for your patience and co-operation.
Notes: From March 1 to Aug. 31, Fridays will be a half day for all Links staff. This has been implimented on a trial basis to reduce Links wages and limit staff interference on one of our busiest days.
Several small maintenance items have been approved by the Board of Directors. Look for these changes to take place in the next few weeks:
1. Pine trees removed from the back of #3 tee. They will be replaced with wild rose.
2. Mountain ash from the side of #18 tee to improve traffic patterns and reduce wear.
If you have any questions, please contact me by phone at (250) 598-4324 or email at vgc@shaw.ca.
Thank you.
