As winter progresses and the
temperatures seem to be all over the place, we do the best to monitor all of
the turf on the golf course, with the most emphasis on greens. As of right now,
the course is under snow cover and insulated from the drastic low temperatures
that we saw earlier this week. This does
not mean that we still can’t see what is going on with the turf.

| A few samples taken from greens earlier this week |
As spring nears closer (I know it’s
only February and winter still has a ways to go) we take samples of turf from some
of our problem areas from the past and bring them inside to break dormancy. So
far the samples have shown good potential. There has been some ice formation on
greens, but was quickly removed to lessen the chance for damage. There have
also been some exposed areas that have been watered to prevent wind desiccation.
Overall everything sampled seems to be doing great and we now wait for warmer
temperatures to slide us into spring.
