Bill Harrison - New England Golf Report <br />Bill Harrison presented his annual report to the Recreation Committee on the past year’s status of <br />Pine Meadows. It was an interesting year as revenues were down $67,000, although 90% of that <br />amount was due to poor weather conditions. 85% of that revenue amount was lost in April and <br />October. In comparison, the other courses managed by New England Golf are down similar <br />amounts in revenue. The number of decreased rounds is equal to the amount of revenue lost. <br />Figures were up for the number of residents playing on the weekends. Bill is hoping for more <br />normal conditions in 2001. Cart usage amounts again reflect the weather. There were 152 <br />Senior Cart Rounds as singles. Course conditions continue to look good and we can expect them <br />to be even better in 2001. Last April the Town entered into a three-year lease for a Ransomes <br />AR25 rough cut mower. The irrigation project is now 95 - 98% complete. <br /> <br />The tree plantings on holes 1 & 3 look good. The bunkers were edged this past fall and the sand <br />ndth <br />in the traps will be replaced this winter. On the 2 and 4 tees they are rebuilding the forward <br />tee. One thing that still needs to be worked on is consistency of some of the greens, in particular <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
