Winter Weather Alert

After weeks of blue skies, warm weather and temperatures that have made it unnecessary to cover our greens, winter has finally arrived at The Ford Plantation.

During the week of January 2-5, 2011 (Monday-Thursday), the golf course maintenance department will be covering the P.G. and front nine putting greens due to night time temperatures between 25 and 38 degrees. The covering process will begin at 3:00 PM each day on #1 and will go in order from there.

Remember that the back nine will be OPEN for play even if the front nine covers have been secured. All covers will be removed the following morning as soon as the frost has lifted, typically between 9:00 and 9:45 AM.  

Please see our previous blog (Covering Process to Begin Soon, December 3, 2011) on importance of covering greens, why we do this process, and how we do it.

Thank you in advance for your help next week. If you have any questions or concerns about our covering process please feel free to contact the Pro shop, CW Canfield or Nelson Caron.

#5 cover has been secured.
