Ready for the Season

The Har Tru topdressing is here and we are ready to renovate the clay courts. Unfortunately the weather is not cooperating this week. So what has the crew been working on? Besides lots of grounds cleanup, tree and shrub pruning and hanging windscreens we have been attacking the yearly task of painting the net posts. It may not sound like a big job, but it is. 44 courts means there are 88 net posts that take a beating from the elements each season. All 88 need to be scraped of rust and loose metal. We then apply two coats of primer and two coats of LCC's green paint (Benjamin Moore "Chrome Green"). So far all the posts for the clay courts are done, we are now onto the grass net posts.
