Winter ice and snow

This winter continues to be an interesting one. We took the snowblower out to the putting green and cleared off a small part of the lower sections to determine amount of ice covering our greens. We did not see any solid ice--(just the slushy version). This is great news for the golf course. Greens under solid ice can lead to death of turf if it lasts 45-60 days continuous.
The greens look very healthy at this point and we will let Mother Nature handle the rest of the winter.
Can't wait for spring and warmer temperatures. It's going to be another great season for golf.

What a winter!

We can't be the only ones anticipating a early spring! This winter has proved to be one of the coldest and snowiest in history. Much of our time has been spent plowing and salting.
As for the golf course:
We have had ice on the greens for sometime which can be harmful to poa annua grass. We are monitoring the health and will begin to do whatever we can to come out of winter with a healthy golf course.
