Winter Damage

The pictures below shown the Crown Hydration damage to the POA on 4 of our greens. The severe winter has caused widespread damage to putting surfaces throughout the Met section. I spoke to 10 area superintendents that are all battling the results of prolonged snow and ice cover and extremely low temperatures.
We have aerified, double verticut and seeded all of our affected greens and have used turf covers to modify the soil temperatures in an effort to speed up the germination process. The greens most severely affected will remain closed until the new seedlings can withstand foot traffic.
