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.
