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.
