Fencing Begins

Work has begun on the fall fencing installations. New fences are going in for grass courts 1-12 and between the terrace and driveway. Clearing, layout and some post hole digging for today. The LCC crew hand dug all the post holes that were in the area of irrigation lines - we made it through the day without one broken pipe!

Thanks Mike - I'm sure that these new fences will make the grounds crews' life more productive and the courts even more attractive.

Perhaps you can use the labs at UMass to develop grass that automatically stops growing at a certain height, self fertilizes and then germinates and self waters from a computer controlled underground sprinkler system.
Then, the crew can march around in uniforms from Brooks Brothers and look like they're at the AELTC.

Except for the guys who take care of the clay - they remain Dogs.

Just a thought.
