How Covid 19 has affected restoration work?
« on: May 01, 2020, 09:07:09 AM »
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.

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.

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!
