GREENS

CLEARED GREENS After clearing the greens and leaving a 3 - 4" snow layer behind, moderate temperatures are able to melt the snow clear of the surface. Here #1 green was revealed within days of clearing it. By placing the turf covers in position the previous fall, the green surface will begin to warm slowly as the days heat up and the sun begins to shine. Also, by putting the covers into place prior to winter, in the event we need to remove ice throughout the winter or spring, the covers provide a protective layer to help in that process. The covers create a good separation from the green turf blades to aide in the ice removal process via shattering it and pushing it off.
