Another 3" of snow this morning has brought our February total to 7". Myles and I walked around this morning inspecting greens. Most of the greens have about 18" of snow cover over .25" to 1.5" of ice. Typically ice on the greens is not desirable. The good news is the ice appears to be doing a good job insulating the turf from the bitter cold temperatures and is not a concern at this time.
We exposed an area in the center of #15 green that had previously been damaged in the winter of 2010. The turf looks great thus far.
