USGA: Our Experts Explain
Great read on how frost can cause damage to the course. Long term forcast looks like we could see some frost delays this week.

Fairway Update
Today we continued fairway aeration. Over the last few weeks we have tried to just spot treat areas that needed extra attention. Today we aerated and picked up all the cores on 15 fairway. The soil on 15 is much heavier and more compacted than most on the course. To help this fairway do better in the heat of the summer we are collecting all cores/soil pulled, verticutting, topdressing to fill holes, then adding amendments.
Filling with sand will help air exchange and water infiltration.
Expansion areas with thinner turf will be drop seeded into aeration holes with rye grass, and then slit seeded with bentgrass.
After this fairway begins to heal we will come back over with a deep verti-drain followed by the verti-quake.
After aeartion + verticut, ready to bet cut and then topdressed.
