Spring Opening
When do we think we will be able to Tee it up this year. Two years ago I played with Marcos on March 17th - St Pattys day........That's the date I will guess.
March 17th - Casselview with Marcos again.......lol
I will bring the green dye for the pints.......

I wish I hadn't missed today, tomorrow's high is -4 and today would've been a perfect day to scratch the itch.

I'm thinking around the 25th March if the weather holds off. But like Lyle said, we havent had winter yet per say.Probably Casselview would be safe bet, Calabogie also.

Nation usually opens early as well, last year was a little late but usually it's within days of Casselview

Was talking to the people a week or so ago that own Mapleview and they haven't had a year in the past while where they didn't open in March and it usually dries out really good early.

I don't think we are going to get much more winter either. May be wishful thinking but I was in Toronto Friday and from Kingston to Toronto there is no snow. Melt melt melt!

If this weather keeps up and we do get another winter blast...may not be good for the courses around here.

Kevin Haimes was not open. He will be open soon, probably before the end of this week.
Quinner (I was a super at a couple of local clubs and have turf education before you call me out ) This weather is not going to hurt the
local courses. The best thing about it is that the ice that is there is rather more like pellets which allows for the surface to breath. Even a large dumping of snow won't be the end all. The killer to greens, especially poa greens is ice. And most courses don't have an ice layer directly on the turf.
We may see a little snow mold because of the warmth but snow mold basically attacks the leaf and not the roots. So the turf may look
really bad as we get melting but it will be healthy underneath and will recover quickly with a good dose of phosphorous and nitrogen.
If I was still a super I wouldn't be to nervous about my greens, especially if they went to bed healthy.
But in saying all of that, Turf and our winters, you never know.

I was on ours yesterday as well and there is no ice touching the turf (about 4 inches up).

Accuweather long range shows a spring starts with a ..stretch of sunny warm weather (8-10) by March 13.
I'll guess Calabogie will be open on March 23rd"Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men...

Very tempting for a Saturday mission. Called Prescott and a few courses in Kingston and they all have snow but are hoping with the warmer weather to maybe be open late next week.
