Greens Covers

The greens have been treated to protect them from pink and gray snow mold during the winter months. A heavy layer of sand has been applied to the greens to help insulate the crowns of the plants during the cold months ahead. An extra layer of protection was installed today in the form of Evergreen turf covers. The 5th, 8th, and nursery greens were covered to allow for more winter protection and earlier spring green up. Some advantages from using these covers are stronger root development, eliminating winter foot traffic from golfers and animals, as well as keeping the geese droppings off the green surface. These covers were left over from the construction project 8 years ago so there was no new cost involved in their use.
