Frost Delays are the HOT Topic...

So there has been much discussion of late about the course closures this winter due to frost and/or frozen conditions.  Some feel that we are being too overprotective of the golf course and close it way too often.  In fact, other than a 10-day closure from November 20th - 29th due to snow cover, we have only closed the course 12 days out of a possible 107 days - that's only 11.2% of the time.  Yes, we do have delays for the lighter frost that does not hang around all day which may affect whether or not you may play on those given days, but even those days do not come as often as you may think.  Here are some figures that may surprise some of you:
  • Course Closed ALL DAY due to heavy frost and/or frozen conditions:
    • 12 days out of a possible 107 days (11.2%)
  • Frost Delays (60 mins or less)
    • 2 days (1.8%)
  • Frost Delays (11:30am or later shotgun starts)
    • 8 days (7.5%)
We have also been closed 6 days this year due to extremely wet conditions, but it's hard to play golf in these conditions:
