Covering Greens/ Tree work.
We Are covering Greens today. Tomorrow is forecasted to be a total washout and Tuesday night has a chance of winter precipitation and Wednesday's high temp. is forecasted to be in the low 30's so I decided to play it safe and get ahead of the weather.

Covering tomorrow ?
According to the two forecasts that I typically watch we will probably cover Monday (tomorrow). The NOAA forecast is below and the Weather channel link is to the right. Rain Tuesday and a possible wintery mix Tuesday night will likely prevent us from being able to cover Tuesday. So unless the forecast changes we will be safe and cover Monday.
7-Day Forecast for Latitude 34.73°N and Longitude 92.34°W

Beautiful Day!
Today is going to be Great! I hope everyone comes out to play and brings a guest!
Typically during the winter months we change pin locations on Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. Since the old plugs do not recover while the turf is dormant we need to reduce the frequency of moving the cup.
Since we had quite a bit of play yesterday, today's weather is going to be so nice, and tomorrow looks questionable, I decided to change the pin location again today. The plan is to not change tomorrow. However if I arrive in the morning and the forecast is for another beautiful golf day I can reconsider.

Frosty Again
Once again we have a frost delay. The frost is not as heavy as yesterday so I hope it will melt quickly, although I do not have an accurate time estimate yet. Please contact the Proshop as the temperature rises.
Here is a video that helps explain the reason we have these delays. Please excuse the cheesiness of the first 90 seconds! .

Monday
We are now able to get back to spraying the course. We are spraying a non selective herbicide along with a pre-emerge on the fairways, tees and green surrounds.This application will clean up all weeds in these areas and should prevent most from coming back. It will take a week or more for the weeds to begin to die, it depends on the weather and how fast the weeds grow. We use a very low rate so we do not damage the dormant bermuda.
