Cold(er) Weather is Upon Us...

Depending on where you are reading this from, cold weather may be creeping up on you as we head toward the winter months. Though not an issue for courses countrywide yet, the issue of early morning frost has the possibility to present some issues. The folks over at the Country Club at Castle Pines have a great blog dedicated to maintenance and upkeep of their course, and they have a good post from yesterday reminding us how important it is to let the turf warm up on those cold mornings.

I've been there myself, having an early tee time held back to due frost can be frustrating, but not as frustrating as having your ball land in a chunk of dead turf because someone just couldn't wait and extra 15 minutes.
