Pictures and Frost

Here are some pictures from the weekend of November 12th. While other courses are dormant and can allow golf as soon as their greens clear, here at Bear's Best we have to wait for the ryegrass to clear as damage would occur to the tees and fairways as well.  We open the practice area much sooner than the golf course as the frost holds on much longer on holes 1,2,3 and 5.  Further posts on frosts will follow.

USGA video

Over the next few months, I will post some videos from the USGA, other turf sources and golf course superintendents around the country on some of the things golf course maintenance staffs do to prepare the golf course for play. The first one looks at how the Stimpmeter works.
