This winter on all golf courses was one of the most difficult ones I've been apart of. The extremely long periods of no snow cover and extreme cold temperatures took it's toll on the turf. As you can see, the course is very slow to green up and will take some time with long periods of sun to change that. We are doing everything we can to speed up the process, but have patience as there is really nothing we can do until soil temperatures get in the 50-55 degree range. We have mowed greens and fairways this week in hopes to remove enough dead tissue to allow sunlight to penetrate the turf canopy which provides more sunlight to turf plant.
We have also spent time getting the sticks/debris cleaned up as well as getting the first rake on the bunkers. They came out very nice and are in great shape heading into the 2014 golf season.
