Old Man Winter has arrived at Metamora golf and country club and to many other areas. I wanted to update you on how the course was prepared for winter. The irrigation system was blown out with air, snow mold applications were made to all the playing surfaces excluding the roughs. Mowing heights were raised to allow the turfgrass plants to build up more carbohydrates. Another thing that we did to a few of our greens is we cut some strips of turf out with a sod cutter to hopefully expedite surface drainage during thaw cycles. Below are a few pictures.
