Winter Greens CareEfforts from the fall greens repair are showing up already. Even with the relentless rain this winter the Portland green looks on the upswing.
The surface is filling in with dense grass and will need a verticutting early in the spring. There was no sign of the usual low spots nor puddling. Bare spots are at a minimum and will do well with some overseeding as soon as the weather warms up. Indoor Bowling set up at WelchesErnie Carlson and those resourceful bowlers at the Resort at the Mountain in Welches have fashioned indoor bowling to keep them entertained over the cold winter months.
They are bowling on Tuesdays and Fridays at noon. It's $5 per person to bowl and you can contact Ernie for more info. They bowl in the Lolo Pass Room at the golf course. With masking tape they set out 2 rinks, each 65’ long. The room isn’t used much during the Winter, so they are pretty much permanent there until Spring. A larger room that could hold four 15’ x 100’ rinks, might be available with some planning. This room is used more often by the resort but there is a possibility of bowlers using it, perhaps for an indoor tournament, if they were to generate a bit of revenue to the resort. The space offers a restaurant, bar, and bathrooms. Ernie reports the Welches group spent New Years Eve bowling after dinner at the restaurant! |
