OK, so maybe that's not as catchy as our usual greeting to golf season - 'Hooray, hooray, it's the first of May' - but with the warm spring we are enjoying... the courses will be opening a week early this year!  After chatting with several of our Superintendants and Golf Professionals, I understand that there is huge optimism that the brilliant course conditions we enjoyed last year will return once again.  This has been mainly thanks to the warm weather this spring and last fall which has allowed our gurus of agronomy to work their magic.  Although we very well could have entertained golfers since the beginning of the month, this extra preparation and hard work from the grounds crew has enabled us to accomplish many projects during this time so that your spring experience will be as enjoyable as possible.  To all of our crews who sometimes go un-noticed and under recognized, here is a big fist pump from all of us!  Thanks!
