It is that time of year again we need to discuss frost delays. When temperatures dip down to freezing and below frost forms on the grass blades. If you walk on the turf the frozen turf will break much like an ice cube. This will cause damage to the turf. Please wait until the Maintenance staff opens the course to play. That includes the putting green. I have had some people in the past think it was ok to practice putting when we have a frost delay. Please go into the Clubhouse and have some coffee or hot chocolate until the frost burns off. The colder it is the longer it takes to burn frost off. If we have cloudy skies it will delay the opening even longer. Below is a video from the USGA on this topic.
