Understanding Frost Delays

It's that time of year again and even before this post, we have experienced a few days where frost has delayed the start of the day.

Frost is frozen dew that has crystallized on the grass, making it hard and brittle.  A grass blade is approximately 90% water and also freezes.  When we walk on frost covered grass and green complexes
we can cause the plant to break and then, loose the ability to function normally.

Once the putting surface has been damaged and weakened the plant is more susceptible to disease and invasive weeds.  It is estimated that one foursome can leave hundreds of footprints  on each green, which could cause severe damage during a frost situation.

Therefore, a short delay is sometimes required in order to protect the plant and insure the quality of the greens remain playable. Delaying the start to your round is the last possible option and we thank you for your understanding.  The entire staff works as quickly as possible to get you out on the course as soon as possible when a frost delay occurs.

The weather forecast looks great for January and the course is in great shape.
