The golf course Trails were groomed at noon today

Even though there is no coming later this weekend I am planning to groom today. I hope to be done by noon I will post the game as soon as I’ve got it done.

All trails have been groomed first thing this morning.

Existing trails have been groomed and some new trails added including some connector trails along and across the lake near 16th street. Trails are in great shape.
