What to expect as the course thaws out...

The current weather reports are forecasting milder temperatures and significant amounts of rainfall which will certainly help to thaw the frozen turf conditions.  This will take some time though as the ground frost is actually quite deep at this time.
 
So what should be expected with regards to playing conditions as the course thaws out?  Nothing is ever guaranteed when it comes to predicting the unpredictability of Mother Nature, but we do know that substantial rainfall on top of frozen conditions is going to result in lots of standing water throughout the course.  The standing water will slowly drain as the frozen ground conditions continue to thaw, but again, this will take some time.

Our regular greens will remain closed until they are free of any standing water and the temporary greens will be in play.
