We are experiencing some "cold" weather this morning. The high
temperature is forecast at a mere 65 degrees while the low has dipped to
37. The light frost we are experiencing this morning is normal for
this time of year- our average daytime highs are typically around 60
with lows in the upper 30's. This morning's frost has almost come as a
shock to the grounds crew. We have been experiencing record
temperatures off and on since last fall and the weather this spring can
only be described as extraordinary.
By most estimates
the golf course is approximately six weeks ahead of
schedule in terms of green- up and turf growth. It has been a struggle
just to keep up with mowing, and frankly, we were falling behind. It is
with great relief that we welcomed back our seasonal maintenance staff
on Monday, April 2nd. We have made significant progress since their
return. We have installed some drainage, applied crabgrass
preventatives, performed irrigation repairs, and are starting to catch
up on mowing.

During this morning's frost delay we are prepping the clubhouse grounds for Easter.
