We've had at least five to six inches of ice covering all of our greens. There's no question about turf damage. When gambling with Mother Nature, sometimes there's no escaping injury. We decided to leave the ice on until there was a steady thaw. We were in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
Ice is a real big pain.
Corcoran, new to the club, has had a rough initiation. Last year, members were playing golf the first week of March here. It's been a hell of a starting year. Mother Nature has given me a pretty nasty welcome. Old Man Winter also has taken his toll on maintenance budgets.
