It's March, What are the greens rolling at today

Well maybe nobody has asked me that yet but it's right around the corner. I was out blowing off the greens today and they look like they have made it through the winter in pretty good shape. The fairways and tees are showing damage from the fungus pink snow mold which is to be expected considering we only treat the greens and approaches for this disease mostly due to cost. There are many White Pine branches littering the course from the last few storms although much less then in years before due to our tree maintenance program. The crew will be returning March 14th to begin really cleaning up the course. I plan to aerate the greens on March 21-22. This is all weather depending remembering that mother nature can still dump some of the white stuff on us in March.
