No more golf for this year with just last minute work to complete. Some people are putting in drainage, while others are doing tree maintenance work. Still others are doing their equipment repair duties and sharpening reels. Weather wise it isn’t bad for November.

This doesn’t happen overnight but is the result of some very hard work by green superintendents and their crews.
