Highlights "typical winter projects," including "annual equipment maintenance and repairs"; "mower blade sharpening and reel grinding"; "tree maintenance"; "drainage"; "irrigation system"; "putting green collar maintenance and leveling"; "and tee leveling, rebuilding, and expansion." Explains that "other projects that can be performed during the winter may include installing a brick patio outside the clubhouse, installing a deep well, repairing a leaking water fountain line, [and] refurbishing the facility's main entrance gate...Winter also presents a great time to develop maintenance standards and review safety and training procedures."
