Snow and Ice, what shall we do?

We made it through the heavy rains of October, two cold snaps in November, and our first snowfall of the off-season.   The latest weather event kept us off the course for a few days as the snow and ice stuck around due to consistently low overnight temperatures in the 20's for almost a week.

Every year we look for opportunities to improve certain things on the property, processes within our operation as well as the headquarters that we operate out of.  It has always been my belief that a clean, organized and professional environment has an impact on how our team views their jobs.  Employees that take pride in their surroundings are more inclined to perform at a higher level, morale is increased and a feeling of structure is established which breeds efficiency.  All of these positive attributes ultimately translate into a much better golf course for our members.

With that being said, we took advantage of the recent weather and spent some time giving our head mechanic, Lou a hand in giving his shop a complete face lift.  The last time we gave this area a good deep cleaning and fresh coat of paint was eight years ago during the winter of 2006-2007 so you could say it has been a while.  The crew spent a lot of time scrubbing the years of built-up grime off the walls and floors before putting a new coat of paint on virtually every surface.  Check it out.

Up close look of the two part epoxy paint we used on the floor.  Isn't it beautiful?

Speaking of beautiful....look at this sunrise that I was able to capture standing on the 13th green earlier this week.  Again, one of the reasons that I love my job here at TPCSR.
