Superintendent's Corner
As we all remember from last year, moisture is a big part of turf coming out of winter healthy. Most courses are taking a proactive approach this year, so not have a repeat of conditions coming out of winter like last year. I am cautious and want you to be able to play golf for as long as possible. I ask that you follow the rules with carts; staying away from greens and tees, following the ropes that we have on the course, or staying on cart paths. I want you all to play as long as possible this year; and I hope that I can provide a course for you to play, but mother nature will dictate that. Please be advised that there may be frost delays during the fall; I will let the pro shop know when the course is playable. There is no set time for a frost delay; the temperature must get to a certain temperature for the frost to go away. During a frost delay the putting greens and hitting cages are closed, just like the golf course due to the frost. Thank you for your cooperation.
