Indoor winter maintenance projects

The bitter temperatures of early week and the subsequent freezing rain later in the week pushed our staff into the maintenance facility this week.  We have some maintenance work that requires inside duty and this was the perfect time to get some of it completed.  Below are some pictures of our tees markers and tee signage that are being cleaned and spruced up for next season.

Tom is sanding the old stain off of the wooden tee markers.  We are preparing well over 125 with some being back ups for the season.
Assistant Mike is putting a stain on the freshly sanded markers.  The markers are then clear coated and the old electrical tape is removed which you can see is wrapped around each marker designating the appropriate teeing ground.  New tape is wrapped in place and the markers are ready for next season.   In the middle of the season, a touch up clearcoat is done to keep the markers looking nice for our members and guests through the rest of the year.


Every few years, the hole signs are removed and freshly painted.


Jason is using a grinding wheel to remove the paint from the raised letters exposing the hole number, name, teeing ground and its yardage. The staff then have to hand paint the circle which designates the three teeing grounds and their course rated yardage.     
The finished product after removing the paint from the letter.  We still have to paint the small circled area for the appropriate teeing ground.





Russ is pulling apart ball washers, cleaning and making sure the brushes are in good shape.
