Hard Frost Again

Ice Formed on the Grass

This morning the temperature when I got to work was 33 degrees thus as we thought we have another hard frost.  It is always hard to say how long the frost delay will be since the temperature always drops again at sunrise but my team will do everything it can to shorten the delay.  The two bad things about these frost delays is first we will have to be doing what are normal morning jobs all day within play, and second having two hard frosts in a row will "off-color" the golf course.

Hard Frost on 4

There is little we can do about the first thing if we want to maintain the golf course but for the off-coloring we will continue the heavy twice a week fertilizations which will aid in bringing back the color.
