During the golf season our department's equipment is worked extemely hard. In the golf season our Equipment Manager Alan Wood maintains our equipment at a very high level. Not only are all of our cutting units kept sharp and intune but all of the necessary service work is also carried out (plus there is the occasional break down that needs tending too!). In the winter months we have more time to tend to the more detailed type of work. Paul Snelgrove our 2nd Assistant is helping Alan with some finishing touches on our equipment. As we work through our fleet, not only is every piece serviced and sharpened but every working part of these machines is thoroughly cleaned and buffed. As this inspection is continued all worn or rusted metal is tended to with primer and rust resistant paint. We here at Highland lease our equipment, but we treat each piece like we are going to have if for a long time. We feel that having safe, clean and fully operational equipment produces a sense of pride in our department.
With the great weather that we have had the last two days, we were able to get the tees shaped and all of the tee mix out to the tees. In this picture here, Derek Vergeer (our contractor) is finish grading #2 Tee to be ready for sod. Unfortunately the forecast is for rain the next couple of days and could hold us up for a bit. We are doing out best to complete these projects in a timely manner, of course with this blog we will keep you updated.
