Colder weather

The first shot of cold winter air is supposed to hit our area tonight through Thursday. We have had a few frost delay's already but this will be the first time that the temperatures will dip into the lower 20's. We staged all of our greens covers around the golf course over the past two weeks getting ready for winter. Our plan is to cover greens either this afternoon or first thing in the morning (depending on when the rain stops) and leave the covers on until Thursday morning. We got lucky this week with our closed days being Tuesday and Wednesday we do not have to worry about pulling covers for play and then putting them back on for the night. Also, we are trying to use sandbags to help hold the covers in place. Last year we used anything and everything we could find and we are hoping the sandbags will be much easier to work with and hold in place better.
