Course Update 12/28/19

If you've played recently you may have noticed that the putting greens were very hard, but also very bumpy.  The reason is the rootzone was frozen due to the very cold temperatures we experienced last week and the bumpiness was caused by frost heaving.  There's always a certain amount of water in the rootzone and as we all know when water freezes it expands in the direction of the least amount of resistance.  Fortunately, the mild weather over the past few days allowed that frozen layer to thaw and the staff is changing cups and rolling greens this morning.  Rolling will help smooth the majority of the putting surface, but don't expect summertime conditions.
