As the winter draws to a close, I thought I'd highlight a couple of the most recent improvements made on the course as part of our "winter chores."
This is a drain I'm sure most who've played lately have noticed. It was dug in attempt to capture water that seems to be mysteriously seeping out of the hill to the right of #3 and making the approach and right fairway constantly wet and unplayable. As we've surely caught some of the problem (easily judged by the steady flow of water in this trench), you'll probably see at least one more drain go in in this area to try to dry up the problem for good. This trench will have a pipe installed and be back filled with gravel within the next week.
We've slowly been reinstalling the path yardage markers that have broken off over the years. So if you see cones on the path, know that they are only there for 24 hours to protect these markers as the adhesive cement dries and please drive around them. Hopefully this time they'll stick for good!
And the most recent improvement was with a new set of putting green flag sticks on the main putting green near the driving range, complete with numbering (for those of you who wish to make a game out of your practice) and Winchester logo. Matching the flag sticks on the course, they're a nice upgrade to this popular area.
