The weather is starting to warm up slowly but the turf isn't ready for golf just yet. Today, we took a core sample from the nursery green to evaluate the frozen layer beneath the surface. Although temperatures are feeling better outside, the sub-surface profile has yet to thaw out. When the ground is frozen beneath the surface and the top is thawed, water on top has nowhere to go. In this situation, avoiding traffic across playing surfaces is best. We're watching the course closely and will be opening for golf as soon as we can do so safely. Right now, I anticipate opening day for the courses to be around the 2nd week of April.
