On The Course March 10th, 2015

Frost is starting to come out of the surface and you can see the footprints on the turf. Please stay OFF the course until we open.

We are into a very nice stretch of weather and the snow is melting and the frost is starting to come out of the ground. Being it is only March 10th I would bet this isn't the end of winter but we can definitely enjoy it while it is here. Please refrain from walking out on the golf course at this time as we can create some traffic depressions and do significant turf damage at this time. Once the frost has come out and the surface has dried and firmed up we will begin discussing opening the course. The Championship Course Greens are covered and will remain covered until we see a definite spike in our soil temperatures. We have seen some of our colder soil temperature this winter with the limited snow cover. Most of the greens are between 26 and 28 degrees right now and will probably hold that temperature for the next 3-4 days. I would not anticipate anything for movement on the Championship Course for the next 10-14 days.

We will continue to have more frequent updates on this blog this season and going into the summer. I will be introducing some of the new staff as well as the returning staff as we get closer to the golf season. I am very happy with the condition of the golf course at this time and we have a couple of very key weeks coming up that could get us off to a great golf season. Feel free to contact me at anytime regarding course conditions. JD and his staff in the Pro Shop will be setting up this week and will have the shop open next week. Make sure you are getting your ForeTees updates and you can also sign up to receive emails from this blog when new content is posted.

10 Fairway looks very good for March 10th with only a few small pockets of water.

A little sneak peak under the cover on #14 Green. Looks like it did last November when it was covered.
