Obviously with the snow last week our plans have been pushed back in terms of clearing the greens. We will let the sun and warmer temperatures do some of the heavy lifting for us until we feel our equipment can do the work without creating more problems than necessary. Moving snow off greens to the side can be an issue if the snow pack is so heavy and dense that melt water is continuously running onto the surface or we can't get our sprayer onto the greens to treat for springtime disease pressure. The snow staying on a little longer will protect the turf from low nighttime temperatures or an outbreak of cold weather. Eric brought a few plugs in from some suspect areas on Monday (remember the last batch of samples was collected a month ago) and as of today they look good. Getting through April is the next big hurdle.
Still a lot of snow. This is 9 green. Turf looks and smells good. By smell I mean a fresh earthy odor.
15 Tee. We found the cartpath.
The new Tee House is nearing completion. With landscaping it will be a great area to relax after a round or some practicing.
All for now.
Happy Easter,
Wade, Eric, David, Ian and Maureen
