Superintendent News December 2017 Usually every January is when we begin to monitor the weather to decide when it is time to cover greens. Over the past 12 years, we have learned a lot about when to cover. At the beginning we used to cover each day it was going to be cold, but now that they have aged, I feel they can handle the weather much better than expected. We will always let them get frosted up first. This helps in the hardening off effect. We now look at daytime temperatures, besides only looking at nighttime temperatures. For example, if the daytime temperatures are sunny and hi of 55 or more and that night may get down to 26, we more than likely will not cover, but if the daytime temperature mid 40 s or lower and that night is 28, we will cover. What I am trying to judge is the length of frozen time on the grass. Once we get our first frost, I begin to leave messages on the Course Conditions Hotline, which is 770-448-2008 ext. 3333. On that message I will say if there is a delay and if we will be covering greens that afternoon. If the day comes for us to cover greens, we begin no later than 4:00 on #1 and #10. If the Proshop feels that not many people will be out to play due to the weather, they will allow us to cover earlier. The longer the grass is under the sun with the covers on it, the better chance of survival thru the winter becomes. If you have any questions, please ask. Chris Purvis New Events for 2018!
