Course Update 1/11/2013

Even though the forecast calls for milder temps, the golf course will be closed to all play this weekend.  There was still a considerable amount of snow in some areas this morning, which when combined with the rainfall during the day and already saturated ground, leads to an extremely wet golf course.  Compaction occurs very easily under these conditions, and walking on saturated turf can have lingering effects.  A good practice after snow melt/rain events during the winter is to check all the surface drains and make sure they are not blocked and working properly.  Standing water around a backed up drain will turn into ice which can kill turf if it persists for too long.
