We will do our best to have the carts out and about to encourage play and make it a bit more enjoyable. Conditions will be assessed in the morning to determine if cart restrictions will be necessary. The fairway bunkers did have some drainage issues which we recorded and will address in the future.Īccording to my favorite weather site,, we will be getting some more rain tonight. Green-side bunkers drained very well with no puddles this morning. The greens received an always appreciated flush of salts and were left very firm and green. A wet spot here or there required a sign and a little rope, but that's it. The course soaked up the rain with very little problems. After thoroughly checking the course from every tee to every green, we were able to pull the cart restrictions and let people drive where they please. Yesterday's storm brought in 1.43 inches according to our fancy weather station and just over 1.5 inches according to the simple rain catchers we have around the shop and the course.Īs a precaution, we made the call of 'cart path only' before golfers arrived. Before yesterday, the rain total was near a 1/4 inch since the 1st of July. This was the first significant rain event in the five months that I've been here. In no time at all, the frost will be yesterday's news, the bermuda will be greening up, and warm spring temperatures will greet you each morning.

The putting greens have also been frost free so you can practice while you wait for your delayed tee time.

Our range is in a great position to get early morning sunlight and hasn't been frosted yet.

If conditions change and the frost delay is lengthened or shortened, than the update will be relayed to the Golf Shop and on to you. I will include an estimated start time that is my best guess. I'm a big fan of the email system to alert the membership of a frost delay. If the plant cracks down at the growing point, it will not recover. The cells inside the turf are also frozen, so foot and cart traffic will break the leaf blades and cause weeks worth of damage. The rough is the first section to turn white on a cold morning as cool air surrounds the leaf blades and freeze the morning dew. Our frost is limited to the rough, fairways, tees and approaches. The greens are always the last part to get frost and the last part to thaw out when temperatures climb. The temperatures need to drop below 32 degrees for frost to occur on the greens. The good news, in San Diego, is the greens very rarely get frost.

So, I'm sure you understand that frost delays are a necessary evil that nobody cares for. Frost delays reduce our number of rounds, drastically reduce the productivity of the maintenance crew, and there's the potential for turf damage. Is there any part of the winter season that is less likable than frost delays? From my viewpoint, there's nothing worse.
