Winter Update


The course is wintering well.  We had a relatively mild lead up to Christmas.  Boxing day we received well over a foot of snow that seemed to stick around for the better part of two weeks.  When it did melt it was a sloppy slushy mess.  All the turf looks good so far except for some snow mobile damage.  There is some disease on the low lying areas of the fairways.  These areas were not treated with chemical.  The greens and tees were treated and they look good so far.  With the cold temps that are on their way it would be nice to have a nice 6 inches of snow as a cover.  But, we have to take what mother nature gives us.  There is no ice on the greens which is a relief.  Plus everything looks good so far.  Here some snap shots of the course with a little snow on it.
