It was great to get a shot last week to begin mowing the course. Hearing the mower reels spinning gets my blood pulsing. We mowed and rolled greens and were able to get a first cut on the fairways. Easter weekend brought some mild temps and sunshine and gave the shortgrass a nice green up.
Luckily the snow didn't stick around too long Monday letting us cut and fertilize tees. Once temps get back to normal we should see a good growth spurt.

| Instant green Up! Mowing off the top dormant blades. |

| Still dressed in winter attire but we're finally mowing |
Pretty straight lines for the first mow in 4 months! Mower heights were bumped up to avoid scalping but we still bucketed a decent amount of grass clippings. Once we get a few more rolls to smooth out the greens surface the heights will come down and speeds will go up. Here we go 2018!!
