The Warming Trend Continues

Doesn't really feel like the middle of February, but we will definitely take the warm weather.  The next 7 days also look good with the warm up continuing.

The golf course has really changed over the past week.  Most all the greens are clear of any snow and ice.  The fairways have improved some, but still have ice in the low areas.  If the forecast hold true we should get the ice areas in the fairways to a minimum.  The picture below is of #1 fairway this morning, 2-16.  

As you can see grass starting to show and ice areas continuing to shrink.  This should improve dramatically over the next week. 

With the forecast in the 50's I'm sure some are starting to think about golf.  For now the greens are closed, if you decide to venture out, Please Use The Temporary Greens on the Front 9.  A word of caution the course is extremely wet right now.  In fact most holes have 3"+ deep water on the fairways. So walk at your own risk!!!

Greens/ Ice and Warm Forecast

It looks as though we will finally get a break from the cold winter we have been dealing with.  The next 10 + days looks to have day time highs above the freezing mark.  This will be a welcome to assist in melting some of our ice we have accumulated on the golf course.  I hope the forecast remains true.

I took a tour of the course this morning.  There grass is starting to show in many areas out there.  I am hoping by mid week we will have most of the ice off the green surfaces.  To do this we may have to remove some of the deeper snow on a couple of greens, but most of the greens will melt off on their own.  As shown in the picture below of #13 green, there is many areas where the grass is showing or will be showing soon.  The melting will accelerate as more grass starts to show.  The fairways still have ice in some of the lower/draining areas.  The ice is fairly thick in spots, we will monitor to see if any actions are needed or possible here.  What will happen from here is unknown, for now spring doesn't seem too far away.
