Frost delays are always a concern at golf courses, but it is magnified at Bears Best. Without returning nines, we have only one direction to send off straight tee times. Shotguns also work, but since we have so many shaded greens, they all have to be clear to do a shotgun. Holes 1, 3, and 5 are the slowest to melt during a delay and those are the ones that need to be open for play first. As always, the maintenance staff does everything to tee off as early as possible. Here are two pictures from #1 this past Saturday.
