Let The Games Begin

The course opened today at noon. The turf from tee to green looks great coming out of winter. Greens are open and carts are running.

Waiting for Spring

As we patiently wait for spring to arrive, when not outside working on the course, we stay busy inside refurbishing benches.
Current temperatures remain 10-15 degrees below average.

ICE

This winters weather patterns have not been favorable. Approximately every 14 days since the end of December, we have experienced temperatures warm enough for significant melting. These thaws are quickly followed by cold temps leaving all the melted snow turned to ice.
In an effort to clear any ice that formed on our greens, we spread green sand on areas of ice coverage . We are happy to report that the green sand aided in the melting as soon as the sun came out.  The greens are now clear of what could have been very damaging ice formation.
The current forecast shows another warming trend for later this week. We continue to monitor the course daily and make adjustments as conditions change.
