A mild winter day can be a great chance to play golf, but there is a risk of serious course damage if the surface thaws and soil is frozen below. Footsteps or cart traffic can cause soil to slide, damaging grass roots. Learn more about the risk of root shear:
Golf course @HydeParkCC will open at 11am with all carts on the path. Hole #6 will have a temporary hole location in the fairway. Hole #7 will be closed.
This illustrates the importance of trusting the cart path decision. It’s never an easy decision but these scars will be with us for a long while. Dormant zoysia is extremely sensitive to cart traffic during the winter months.
A small shower yesterday only bringing 0.1” of rain. More rain in the forecast for today @HydeParkCC. Golf course will open with all carts restricted to the path-no orange flags.
Frost covers the entire golf course this morning. Opening will be delayed until 930. Please check in with the golf staff for any updated tee times @HydeParkCC
Now that greens are healed from aerification, plant growth regulator is being applied in the greens spray this morning. All carts may continue scatter to fairways @HydeParkCC
