The cold is coming

With the short grass slowly but surely going into dormancy, we spent last week applying granular fertilizers to greens and approaches. These late season applications will help increase turf quality and recovery come spring time.
We also sprayed our greens, approaches and tees for snow mold prevention.
On Monday and Tuesday the irrigation lines were blown out twice to prevent any freezing and cracking of pipes, swing joints, and irrigation heads.
This Friday the bathroom at 12 will be winterized and locked until spring to prevent frozen plumbing.
Next weeks temps drop significantly with high temps barely reaching forty and nighttime temps around twenty. Once the greens freeze solid, we will be switching over to temporary pins until March.
