NOT Uncovering

I am sorry but we have had to change our plans again. Due to the 10 day forecast we have decided to leave the covers   down rather than risk precipitation preventing us fromrecovering  Wednesday. Plans and forecasts can and probably will change. We will update everyone accordingly. Thank you.

Uncovering Greens.

Our plan is to uncover Greens tomoorow afternoon (Saturday). According to the forecast it will likely be Noon or later before we can get started, we hope to have the first tee times at 2:00ish. This is subject to change! Please Contact Golf Shop afternoon for updated tee times. 

Greens Uncovering?

As of now Saturday looks to be our first possible chance to remove the greens covers. 

With the current forecast  we will have to wait until at least mid day before we will be able to begin. 

This means there may only be a small window of afternoon tee times. 

Removing Ice

The guys removing 2-3 inches of ice in front of Proshop last week. It has been a cold few weeks. 

BLOG IS BACK!

Once again I will try to rekindle this Site. When I am active this site is a great communication tool, when I drop the ball or completly abandon it, the Site becomes a waste of effort for those following. I apologize too everyone, especially those people who have continued to check the site of the last half year or so. (over one hundred views last month!!)

So, I will Try very hard to post something of substance at least once a week from here on. I will also try to begin using this as a primary information site regarding covering and uncovering green.
Once again I apologize for my lack posts.

COVERING GREENS TODAY NOVEMBER 17th!!!

Very Early in the year but we are covering the greens today as the forecast for tonight is 19 degrees. Our plan is to remove them Wednesday morning.

Check out the post below for more info on when and why we cover. Thanks.

Greens Covering Policy

Greens Covering Policy

A reminder of our greens covering policy: 

We will cover when the forecast is for the air temperature to dip below 25 degrees for an extended period of time. We will uncover when the forecast is to be above freezing for a full day and not forecasted to dip into the mid twenties at night.. Many other factors are to be considered when deciding to or not to cover the greens. Some of these are wind, moisture and time of season. Also, we will attempt to cover the greens before the weather moves into the area. It is very difficult to handle the covers when the wind is blowing at 15-20 mph, or when it is raining. Please understand that the few days each winter that the course is closed it is for the future health of our greens.

Frost delays will be handled the same way as past years. We will open the course just as soon as the frost has burned off of the greens. Even though we have dormant Bermuda grass greens foot traffic can still damage the plant when covered in frost.
