Spring getting started

Its nice to see some warmer weather and our snow receding. The course is roughly 50% covered in snow and with a little luck most of that will be gone over the next week. Over the last two weeks we have removed excess snow off all of the greens and all snow off the greens that have solid covers. After having a good look at half of the greens now the majority of them look like they have wintered well. We are seeing minor mechanical damage on some greens and some freeze/thaw damage on the front of #17 green. The 15th green has been hurt from the long duration of snow cover and quantity of snow pack that it had received over the winter. It will need extra care in the coming month to get it ready for golf season. Of the areas we have seen our winter protective chemical has been very effective, little to no snow mold has been present. Over the next few weeks hopefully all this snow will be gone and we can begin the process of getting the course ready for golf.
