Completed clubhouse signs

We mounted the completed clubhouse signs and they look great! Prior to the "Golf Car Return" sign, there was just a white piece of printer paper that showed players where to go, so this is a major upgrade!

After hanging up signs, we spent the rest of the day shoveling channels in a herringbone pattern on greens to help expedite the melting process.

Clubhouse signs

Since there's so much snow on the ground right now and business is so slow at BP, we decided it was a good time to make some new signs for the Sagebrush Grill and the Golf Car Return area of the clubhouse. Attached is the before and the finished product. They turned out great!

Pump Screen Repair

Here at Bully Pulpit, we have a very unique irrigation system. We pump all of our water out of the Little Missouri River into two ponds that we use throughout the year. The water in the "Little Mo" is extremely dirty, which causes alot of problems with our pump screen. Today, we had to pull out the screen and make some repairs. Caked onto the screen was a great deal of mud and vegetation (and about half a dozen catfish.) We had to completely scrap one half of it and build a new half using a sturdier, more rigid mesh hoping that helps in the future. We also welded on a 2 "feet" on opposite ends of the screen to prevent the screen from sitting on the floor and collecting sand and gravel.

NYC

By far one of my favorite experiences of my first session at Rutgers was getting to spend time in NYC. Such a great city! I definitely recommend a trip to anyone who has never been! Here are some of my favorite photos that I took:

I look forward to taking more pictures of the course once the season gets started! This truly is a beautiful golf course. Here's just a sample of what I was able to get before the snow hit.

Hello, my name is Andrew Stoldorf and I am currently the Grounds Intern at Bully Pulpit in Medora, North Dakota. I am enrolled in the Professional Golf Turf Management School at Rutgers University and one of our requirements for the 2nd year is to keep a daily journal during our internship. I will update my blog throughout the summer as much as I can!

I've been in Medora for 2 weeks now and snow has caused a very slow start. We were just hit with about 16" yesterday. Looking forward to it melting and for the season to get started!
