One quick drive around the course and it is evident that it
will still be a while before the golf clubs can be dusted off. The entire
course is covered in snow and the temperatures remain right around 30 degrees
or lower. There still seems to be little ice formation on the course which is
great news. The major problem mother nature can cause now would be a drastic
temperature increase, rapidly melting
the snow cover we do have.

An excess of moisture and warmer temperatures at this time
of year can trigger the grass to come out of dormancy, especially the Poa
annua. Poa is the one type of grass that is famous for this occurrence, and the
real problem comes when it breaks dormancy and takes up water and then the
temperatures drop off, killing the grass. The extended forecast looks to be in
our favor, and a close eye will be kept on the entire course as we stroll
through March.
