   9 holes + above average grounds areas that are mowed with reels.
   
   I'll only have to do 14 reels, unless I decide to clean off the old 1966 Jake F-10 and do those reels

   54 holes
   63 reels
   
   Started sending all reels to another course managed by our company to have grinded due to the man hours it takes to do all of them here, plus they have a newer set of grinders. We can do the bedknives at our location tho.

   We have a 9 hole facility but it fills up 93 acres. I have Foley 652 and 672 for grinders. I grind about 30 of our own and about 100 reels that belong to other courses since I am the only one with grinders for 200 miles. Its nice for us and it keeps me busy in the winter. Actually just got caught up again yesterday!
