WINTER PREPARATION



GREENS PROTECTIVE FENCING


On the first day the course closes to play we begin to install protective fencing around all the greens. T-bar steel posts are located at 15' spacings around the green and 6' page wire fencing is attached to the posts. This fencing protects the greens from wildlife traffic that causes significant damage. The fencing is placed at a distance away from the green that still allows us to aerate, topdress, spray or mow the greens within the fenced area. This process takes 4 staff members 128 man hours to complete. The fencing will remain in place the entire winter until just days prior to the golf course opening the next spring.
