Golf Site of the Week - Rim Golf Club Maintenance
- http://therimgolfclub.blogspot.com/ -

This week I'd like to feature a fascinating blog written by the maintenance staff at The Rim Golf Club in Payson, AZ. The course is incredibly scenic, surrounded by beautiful pines and breathtaking views all over the course. The course superintendent, Justin Ruiz, does a fantastic job keeping his readership informed on the everyday activities of his maintenance staff. I would only hope that if I ever have the resources to join a club such as The Rim Golf Club that the course would have a similar blog -- ensuring its population that the staff is hard at work day in and day out to make the course as perfect as it can get.

The information provided by Ruiz and his staff is truly incredible, ranging from quick updates or an interesting photo to the elaborate monthly reports that are presented to The Rim Greens Committee. The staff there has been doing a great deal in terms of conserving their water use, and it sounds like they have been quite successful at it.

Just a few of my favorite posts

• Monthly Greens Committee Report
  
• Elk, Elk, and More Elk
  
• December Green Committee Report

I hope that you've enjoyed a brief look at golf course maintenance blogs. There are many more like them, and I'm sure a few of them will come along in Golf Site of the Week as the year progresses.

As always, if you have a suggestion on a potential golf site of the week, please let me know!
