As the clouds try to clear out, we are left with a very wet golf course. We had close to 0.6 inches of rain since yesterday afternoon. Combined with the warmer temperatures, carts will need to be restricted until 11:30am. Why11:30? Well, each day myself and the assistants ride throughout the course to measure how wet and soft the ground is presently. After consulting with the weather forecast, we try to make an educated guess as to when a cart will not damage the turf. We like to think we get it right most of time but sometimes we are wrong. We try to balance not hurting the course today with not jeopardizing the course long term. It is similar on how we decide when to end frost delays. Thank you for your patience.
