Temperatures at the Greenland Country Club have warmed up to -65F from last week’s -78F, and the greens are coming around nicely with some lovely new green grass.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Id like to hear the groundsmans point of view re the divots left by the last players:-)
He said…
“Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-lagunga.”
So he’s got that going for him… which is nice.
Divots? What are they chipping on with a mattock? Heck, you’d need a Ramset and a #5 load to put a tee in the box.
Here in Iron River Michigan the Palm Trees are doing better with the warm up here! Now at -8f the trees have to adjust to the weather. This new palm will do well even in these warmer ranges.
The Michigander Palm Tree:
That appears to be Mikey Mann’s entire data set.
Good one……………
Well, conifers did evolve when the planet was much warmer and wetter! 🙂 Much of our coal is from these trees which died millions of years ago.
Just keep the verticutter machines away from the greenkeeper!

It is in such great shape that there it talk that they might transfer the Masters up there in April! Due to climate change, Augusta is now way too hot.
You are correct Andy the weather here down south is so HOT it is 27.6 °F and snowing in Charlotte, North Carolina (Lat: 35.2° N)
Augusta, Georgia is a blazing hot 40.8 °F (Lat: 33.5° N) I am not sure how the golfers will be able to stand the heat.
Washington DC is 12.6 °F and I hope some politicians are freezing there tushes off in the short walk out of there houses… Nah, they would not even be awake at 7:00 am.
Gag, we are now down to 21.0 °F and it is still snowing! Normal high is 49 °F and low 33 °F. It is almost March, my pastures should be greening up and almost ready for grazing not white with snow.
Scrounge, scrounge mutter…
Yes, my memory was not fooling me. According to the chart on page 26 in Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina warm season Bermudagrass should start growing mid May or before, and my rye should have started growing again in January peaking at the end of April.
“…If grain harvest is desired, considerable grazing can be obtained between November 1 and Febuary 15 [ROTFLMAO] without materially reducing grain yields… Rye produces more forage on sandy land whereas barley is more productive on the clay soil of the piedmont….” page 46.
Hmmm I may take a Leif out of the vikings page switch to barley next year.
