Closure of Putting Greens In assessing the long range weather forecast, we have reached the time of year that we believe it is appropriate to close our putting greens for the season and move to temporary greens. This will take place on Monday, December 7th. The golf course will still be open for those that want to walk and play to hole locations on the approaches. The forecast indicates night time temperatures below freezing for the foreseeable future. At this point, our finely managed turf grasses will not be growing any longer, and the ability for the turf to recover from traffic through growth is lost. The concern is that foot traffic on greens will cause more rapid wear injury under these conditions. Wear can have a cumulative effect on our putting greens and leave them more susceptible to other potentially damaging winter conditions such as desiccation, low temperature kill, ice, crown hydration, and traffic injury on wet, frosted, frozen or thawing soils. Greens are being top-dressed with sand before the incoming rain and snow this weekend. Tees and approaches have been top-dressed to help protect those surfaces as well. We have also made our final plant protectant applications. Thank you everyone for another great season, and thank you to our dedicated golf course maintenance team for all they have done this year! We are fortunate to have such a diligent team that takes a lot of pride in our great golf course. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Adam Moore Superintendent
