With the current weather pattern we have lots of moisture on the golf course. We must be very careful this time of year since our warm season turfgrasses are just starting to wake up from its winter nap. We need to be careful not to expose the turf to any unwanted traffic that can cause wear and compaction. Some members might think it is dry since they do not kick up or squish any water while walking into the fairway. That does not mean the fairways are dry. They still have moisture in the soil and driving carts on the fairways will compact the soil. It takes more time for the soil to dry down when you have limited to no growth taking place by the turf. Wear and compaction are serious issues that can severely damage turfgrass. We may keep carts on paths an extra day or two before allowing carts to return to 90 degree. I hope you understand. We will open up fairways to 90 degree as soon as possible. No need to complain to Clubhouse staff they have no say to cart path only or 90 degree. The decision is made by the Maintenance Staff.
