Our course has some of the best vistas anywhere, as the commercial goes... Priceless, but all things have a cost so, I thought I would list a few of the items we use every year.
22,000,000 The number of gallons of water we use during the year
30,000 The square feet of sod we installed last year
600 The tons of sand we used on the course for topdressing and bunkers
10,000 Gallons of fuel consumed in maintaining the course
6,000 Pounds of seed put in to the ground
300 gallons of oil changed for fleet maintenance
45 number of flags lost due to vandalism
200 feet of chain for the chainsaws
300 the average number of steps a foursome takes on every green
365 the number of days spent worrying about the course!
Enjoy the new year and everyone have a great golf season......
In later posts I will begin a several part series on our greens; the history, construction and challenges we face. This primer may help some have a better understanding of the costliest and most critical aspect of the course.
