On January 16, we received mixed precipitation of freezing rain followed by three inches of snow. Subsequently, there is a thin layer of frozen granular/ice on the greens. Through many conversations with other private club Superintendents in south eastern Michigan, and the guidance of the faculty at MSU, ice should not be left on the greens longer than 30 days. The countdown began on 1-18-11.
Stay tuned for future developments.

Happy New Year!
We have spent a lot time checking and clearing greens this holiday season. After being in touch with many other Superintendents in the area regarding ice we seem to be fairing well so far. Some Superintendents are seeing a honeycomb ice accumulation after clearing their greens. So far Lakelands has had major snow melt however nothing as far as ice. Obviously this can change on an hourly basis. There are just two of us in right now so know we are managing to the best of our abilities in the sunlight hours. Our goal is to come out of this winter with much less damage as years past!
