Almost every Superintednent I have spoken with in the past two weeks agrees that spring has made a dramatic entrance. The weather conditions for growing turf could not be better right now, even if mother nature is a month ahead of schedule. Our golf season officially begins on Sunday April 1, but on the maintenance side we are their now. The extended forecast is not even hinting that this weather pattern will shut off anytime soon.
The greens are nearing full recovery just two weeks since being aerified. I feel that the putting conditions are at thier worst just prior to full recovery. A good ball roll can be suddenly interupted by a hole still partially open. After some additional verticutting and topdressing they will be perfect.
