It has been a frustrating few weeks while we wait for a
break in the weather. We are as tired of
being cooped up as you are. We ask you
to continue your patience a little bit longer.
The 10-day forecast continues to have freezing temperatures as their
lows. This is the main concern at this
point. As the temperatures drop below
freezing, the surface freezes every night.
The root system is then at serious risk of being damaged. We spend all year trying to grow healthy roots. These could be compromised (sheared) with
foot traffic during the freeze/thaw cycle.
According to our soil sensors, the soil profile at a half inch depth
does not get above freezing until 2:00 in the afternoon on average. After a heavier freeze, the soil would remain
frozen further down making it even later in the day.
Unfortunately, the course will remain closed through this
weekend and until further notice. We
will get the course open as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience.
