Clearing Greens

The Golf and Grounds crew cleared off 15 greens to expose the ice levels under the snow. A melting agent was spread on the ice to help Mother Nature melt the ice away. On Poa/bent greens most turf manager will start the removal process after 30 to 45 days of snow and ice coverage. Snow cover alone in most cases is not harmful to the turf. When a thick layer of ice develops under the snow damage to the turf can occur.
