Waiting...

Fossil Trace is gearing up for the season. Hopefully we will have a season, but it seems like it's never gonna get here. I mean, Jim can't wear his knickers in several feet of snow. I take that back--he probably can.

We have begun to aerify fairways and have completed quite a few, but need the warm weather to return to finish them up. Greens aerification is scheduled for the week of April 5th and hopefully the weather will cooperate with us. The spring is always a roll of the dice when it comes to sticking to a maintenance schedule.

The course is starting to show hints of green, and YES, all this moisture is good for the turf. It's NOT good for revenue, and since we have been closed most of the winter we need all the good golfing weather we can get.

Here are a few shots of Springtime at Fossil:
