Probably not a part of life that hasn't been affected and work on courses is no different. What projects in process or not yet begun are now on hold or cancelled? 2 of my clubs have pumped the brakes on their projects which were supposed to start this year. One a course restoration, the other a clubhouse project. Shapers, bunker guys, even archies themselves I'm sure are feeling it. Tightening up the books during this time will be a frightening exercise for each clubs treasurer.

At Old Memorial in Tampa I believe they accelerated scheduled renovation work as a result of the downtime.

I have three active construction projects underway and all have continued (though they all started before the pandemic kicked into high gear). I have others that were expected to start in the fall but at this point who knows as most activity is day to day.

I changed my mind on sharing what I did.

No restoration work, but one major renovation in progress hasn't stopped construction. Neither has planning on my 3 current master plans, although I will be driving to a meeting next week, and another a week after that, both about 12 hours. In the old days, I wouldn't drive 12 hours anywhere, I would fly.

At Penfield CC we need you to start looking at trees!

Our Michigan club has just put a one year hold on our tee rebuild program (about 500k, a BIG deal for us). Trees went down this past winter, but that's it. The concern is not membership loss, we're pretty stable right now, but a combination of taking on debt and the knowledge of a loss of use of the clubhouse for at least April and May and probably June. Also no understanding if we'll be able to bring guests and the $ that brings in. The members can't use the clubhouse for entertaining clients or use for meetings and events. So basically no way to count on a budget.
BUT we are playing walking golf!
