SNOW REMOVAL


From ice removal on the greens to final snow removal and greens examination.  The photo shows the varying layers of ice that formed throughtout the winter in the remaining snow to the left of the staff member.  This is indicative of the freeze/thaw effects we experienced during the winter.  The evergreen cover that remains on #8 green has been damaged due to the mechanical aeration of the ice that sat on the green surface and the frequent snow removals throughout the last few months of winter.  This cover will be replaced with a new cover to allow the green to begin warming up in spring.  This was a small price to pay to keep the turf on the greens alive.
