Blowin' Snow

The snow level is starting to drop to a manageable level for us to work with. Shady spots still have up to 16 to 18 inches but other areas with even a little mid-day sun are getting down to the 12" level.


We began removing snow from the greens and started with #7 since it was the only green with an impermeable cover. We wanted to get some air exchange between the stale air under the tarp and the atmosphere (this relates back to a condition called anoxia. See http://kimberleygolfclub.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html). Things appear to be O.K. with no obvious disease and no stench (the usual indicator of problems). As usual, we will get a better read on things once the turf shows signs of growth.
