I know how much you all love the yellow rope and stakes, but they continue to be an unfortunate necessity. Being such a busy club, managing traffic is one of our biggest tasks every year as golf carts running undirected can do a great deal of damage in a short period of time when conditions are right. Even foot traffic needs attention to spread the wear and tear on green surrounds and approaches. We try very hard to make them look as visible as possible, which requires an annual 'dip' in the yellow paint.
Also, some of our green equipment has filtered into the shop for annual maintenance. We are getting 2 new fairway units this year which will need little attention, but we are keeping 2 of the old units to get through the year and help with the vertical mowing duties. Units are being disassembled, bearings, bedknives, and seals replaced, and units will be ground.
