Staff starting time

Our golf season is in full swing and we've made adjustments gradually from our winter hours of 7 a.m. to the starting time of 6 a.m. during the week for the rest of the season.  This gives our staff enough time to go out and begin setting up the course for our members and guests.  This includes changing holes and mowing greens.  Our weekend schedule begins at 5:30 a.m. because the tee sheet is open at 7:00 a.m. for our membership.  We limit our work on the weekend to mowing greens, resetting tees and holes, raking bunkers, general debris clean up and watering our greens as needed.  There is an occassion where we might mow some rough or fairways if weather prevented this from taking place on Friday.  We attempt to do this quickly and get out of the way so you can enjoy your weekend in peace. 

I forgot to change my time stamp to daylight savings time but this is the view from a walking mower at 5:52 a.m. last Saturday morning.  We need lights for the first green or two and are then able to work in natural light as the sun starts its day.
