The three days back to back frost early in the week took its toll on the golf course somewhat. Areas that were still growing in, or areas impacted by the cart traffic had stronger bermudagrass than ryegrass, thus when the frost pushed the bermuda towards dormancy its off coloring could be readily seen. This usually occurs in December (termed December Gloom by superintendents) but this year with the cooler weather sooner happened sooner as well.
The good news is that there is plenty of seed on the ground and we spot seeded even more this past week. All of this seed will have less competition and will fill these areas in soon.
Next week will be a short staff week to allow our team members time with their families over the Thanksgiving holiday. Plus it will keep us on budget which is good for the Club overall.
