Course Update



Golf Course update March 24th 2014

The cold winter weather continues: Several area of the golf course are still under snow cover and a deep frost layer exists in our soils. These conditions will keep the golf course closed to all play and practicing until at least March 31st. Let’s hope the predicated snow storm for this week does not materialize, delaying the opening of the course any further.
Several days of warm temperatures are necessary to melt the snow cover and thaw the frost layers in the soil. Until all frost is out of the ground no traffic is allowed on the course. Traffic on thawing turf can harm the root systems and playing surfaces of our fine turf.
Please follow the club website and turf blog for updates on conditions .Thanks for your understanding.
Peter Rappoccio, CGCS
