Interlochen Golf Course: One last ski after yesterday’s heavy rain on barely snow covered grass, yee-haw! There was a lot of tree debris on the fairways but no trees down. Used my fishscales since lots of gravel cart crossings. Stopped for a call as finishing & got snow heels. Hopefully, Spring is around the corner now but couldn’t waste last night’s snow!
