His new destination is an 18 hole municipal <br /> course which abuts a lake located on the outskirts of Grand <br /> Rapids resort areas.

The course is currently in <br /> the construction phase. Kurt will be responsible for the "grow <br /> in" and maturation stages just as he was with The Bridges. This <br /> new job is an advancement in Kurt' s career as a Golf Course <br /> Superintendent. Kurt especially forward to working an 18 hole <br /> course. <br /> Although we are sad to see Kurt leave us, we are happy that he <br /> has this new and exciting opportunity. Kurt says that his family <br /> is excited about living in a more rural setting. Kurt' s boys <br /> are enthusiastic hockey participants and look forward to the <br /> opportunities for playing hockey in the Grand Rapids area. <br /> Kurt will be leaving the last part of April. His intention is to <br /> spend a week or more with the new golf course superintendent so <br /> that he can pass on the information for the operation of the <br /> irrigation system, pumping system and phases of the turf <br /> management program. <br /> Brus continues to take on much of the ordering of vending and <br /> sales materials. He has been working on arrangements for league <br /> registrations and lesson programs. Applications has been <br /> solicited for seasonal work at the golf course. Russ Ruzynski <br /> has begun work with golf course maintenance. His assistance is <br /> greatly appreciated. <br /> GOLF COURSE TASK FORCE MEETS THURSDAY, MARCH 16 <br /> The Task Force is scheduled to meet this Thursday to plan <br /> activities for The Bridges Grand Opening. Before the meeting the <br /> Task Force members will have the opportunity to hit golf balls <br /> off the mats at the practice range. The practice range is still <br /> soggy and needs additional drying weather before the range can <br /> open for the general public. However, operations are ready for <br /> range opening as soon as the weather can produce Spring drying <br /> winds that will dry up the soils on the range so that the ball <br /> picker can operate without damaging the turf. It is difficult to <br /> be patient especially when waiting on the weather. <br />
