a quick update for all you frustrated golfers missing this warm spell. All greens are clear of ice and snow now finally. The third and fourth greens being our last hold outs. Of course there is a ton of ice in the swale behind three. The issue is the frost has not melted. The top 1-2 inches is saturated and it is frozen below that. I have heard estimates of 20-30 inches of frost built up in that open cold spell. The roads and paths were soup yesterday and today have dried up some. The turf was mostly still frozen yesterday and is soup today. Patience is a virtue but golfers rarely aspire towards virtuosity. All I can say is eventually we will either thaw out or freeze solid and maybe be able to get back out there. The easy visual proof I can give you are the tire tracks we are putting in the edges while trying to clean up the course from all the storms and the puddles everywhere. But who want to look at the same puddles getting ever smaller? Instead I took a couple of bunkers that are not draining because of the frost. No better proof.
