It's like pulling tarps...

                                                                           #5 green

Well we pulled the tarps this week. As I mentioned in the last post it has been a bit of a struggle the last couple of years because of the strange weather patterns and our timing with removing the covers. Well we seem to have avoided that this year. We pulled the tarps off of the greens that had them (3,6,17,11,14,pg had none) and things look great. Just enough growth to get them going, but not enough to be a real issue. The plan for the next while is to let the tarped greens get used to the weather, and  the greens I mentioned earlier will get a tarp for a week or so to let them catch up. Then about two weeks out from opening we will begin to mow and roll to get them in shape for the season.

                                          This is the back right portion of #5 green. Notice where
                                         the tarp stopped. By the time we open you will not be
                                         able to tell the difference.
