ON THE COURSE John Slade

Director Of Golf Course Operations

While we were hit with some bitterly cold weather pre-Christmas, thus far, January has been quite mild. Because of this, the covers on the putting greens have not been a “set it and forget it” for the bulk of the winter. In fact, most weeks, the team has pulled the covers at least one time, whether it’s for mowing and rolling the green at the range, or applying a fertilizer or fungicide to the seeded Clubhouse C68 putting green.

When we have forecast low temperatures remaining at 40 degrees or above, we will typically leave the covers off for the night. As you can see, the sodded putting green has been enjoying the warmth that the blanket provides.
