What a winter again! Last year was the latest opening we have ever seen-April 10. This year was no different. I spent over 60 hours on a tractor blowing snow off the greens and cart paths. The greens look good, greening up, poa annua spots are brown with greener grass deeper in the canopy. This should green up with warmer temps. The rough might have a lot of snow mold but they will recover quickly. The tee boxes look good however, we will be using temporary tee boxes on par 3 holes along with the driving range tee. Your patience is appreciated as we get the course dialed in and ready for play.
Thank you, Donald Moss, Superintendent
