Course conditions

The course is pretty wet after all the recent rains. The soil has been at field capacity (filled up with water) for some time now thanks to the wet year we have had in 2011. It will be wet for a while because of our soil type and no grass growing to suck it up.

The carts will be on paths for the remainder of the winter. I let them go on the grass as long as we could, but with the rainfall and the Bermuda being dormant it's time to limit the traffic. This will help the Bermuda come back great in the spring as it has the last couple of years. Running carts throughout the winter on dormant grass will wear down the grass and compaction becomes a major concern - resulting in slow greenup and thin grass in the spring.
