A quick update as to what is happening in the Grounds Department. Our main focus in February is sharpening all the mowers and making necessary repairs to keep everything running smoothly in the summer months Oxbow’s Maintenance Mechanic, Bryce Fenske, is concentrating on the long-term care of the mowers and carts. This would include oil changes, greasing bearings, hydraulic issues and all safety devises on the machines. Not including the golf carts, Bryce will service over 40 mowers and utility vehicles

Jesse Lunde, Assistant Superintendent, is responsible for cleaning and sharpening all the green, tee and fairway reel mowers. There are over 80 cutting reels and bed knives that are disassembled, sharpened and height of cut set, before the mower is ready for use. When done properly the mower will remain sharp throughout the upcoming golf season

The snow cover this winter has allowed for a cross country ski trail to be groomed around the course. A thank you to Taylor Cavanagh for his time and equipment maintaining the course
