Recycle
First trip to the scrap metal yard. We are now recycling all metals etc... and creating a "Scrap4fun" fund, all the proceeds will go for the Staff Summer Golf Events. The guys are now making sure every piece of metal goes to the scrap pile. My first time doing this and it feels great. Scrap4fun $74.75 lol!!!
Award!!!
We got the Best Golf in the VI on St Croix 2013 Award!! :) Congrats to all our staff for this first time award. Wow, I didn't expect this now!! Maybe in two more years. Lol Thanks to Elizabeth Armstrong for her support and Tim's great experience.
PGA P.R. /
Great weekend at P.R. With the PGA prep work at the Trump International. Claudio went over as well, stop at the San Juan (pin~nones) beach to check out the Barber Seaweed Unit. Great food and some shopping awesome...
Cleaning Up!!!
Claudio and the crew doing some massive tree pruning around the guest parking lot. The parking lot looks really good. 'Claudio have a safe trip to Chile on your vacation, you deserve it...That's a long trip!!! Lol
New Pump Station Panel
Working all day with Jose Bauza and Victor Ramos, Watertronics reps. Finally installed the panel and got it working well. Going forward we will refurbish the primer pump and motor #2 also will need to replace the old flo meter, this will enable the system to function 100% accurate. Thanks to David, Earl, Jose Bauza and Victor Ramos for all the hard work they put into this first phase of our pump station.
UPDATE....New irrigation heads on greens
June 2014 update Now doing installation on greens 18,9,6,7 and 8. AND WE ARE DONE!!! Next T boxes!!! Starting in July.... We started installing the new heads on our greens. It will be time consuming giving the location of the old heads and trenching/supply line installation to correct many hydraulics issues. We will only install the heads on all greens this summer and next summer start with the wiring controls etc... As expected on the greens that already have the new 875/part circle Hunter heads we are saving 40% on water, electrical usage and labor.
