Turf? Not right now!

I managed to get out for a walk on the course today, whew, what a workout.  Right now, with warmer temps last week, and sun during the last few days, there is a crust of ice over the snow, some places the snow under the ice is 2-3ft deep.  However the great news is that the snow is fluffy underneath.  This means that the snow has open air space and breathing is possible for the turf.  Unfortunately that is a lot of snow, and with the temps dipping down around -15 C, this means a realistic opening is more in the April-May timeline again.  Have faith in the power of Mother Nature, and the fact that early March is sometimes good to us.  Let's hope we have this issue this year.

Happy warm thoughts.
