Season Upon Us!!

The season is just right around the corner. We have a few days where golfers have come out to clean the rust off their clubs these past couple of weeks. We are getting our usual spring showers, a little more than I would like to see right now. I don't think Mother Nature understands the concept of spacing out these rains during the season, but that's ok. A couple of projects have been put on the back burner this winter due to all the snow we got leaving these areas wet or snow covered to wear we could not do the necessary work. Nonetheless, we will get to them when we can so please bear with us and play around us when we are working. With all this rain, please obey all cart rules as we will most likely be cart path only all this week. I hope everyone is as excited as I am to get the season started. We will see you on the course!

Staff Profile: Wilbert Lewis




Wilbert Lewis was hired on to Juniper Hill Golf Course in September of 2007. Many of you might know Wilbert from his days with Frankfort's Street Department, which he retired from and is still talked about from his former co-workers. Wilbert's primary duty at the golf course is mowing rough. He is on the tractor 5 days a week trying to keep the rough mowed down so all the golfers can find their ball easier. Even at his age, Wilbert is one of the hardest workers on the crew. When he's not mowing rough, he will step in and help with anything asked of him in order help maintain the golf course, from helping work on equipment to weed eating. You couldn't ask fora better worker as he is a vital addition to the staff, is very dependable and can be counted on to get a job done.
