Snowcover in NE

I guess it depends.  Too much snow cover out here and it can cause some kind of a mold to grow, and actually damage the greens.  I'm no horticulturist so I'm just going on what I've heard in conversations when we've had a year like you guys are having.

Luckily Dayton has had sparse amount of snow this year. I don't envy you guys in the north east.

I was talking with the club pro about joining the club and was asking about things.  In the conversation I brought up about really late in the fall or early spring golfing.  I wondered if the greens were covered or not.  He said they experimented with it on one hole for a year or two but everything is uncovered.  I took it that it really wasn't worth the bother.  I guess I never noticed what was done while driving by the course all these years.  Our wintry season is about 3 1/2 months of cold and thaw cycles with probably another month of that with some kind of snow cover.

I did see two guys playing over there when it was pretty chilly out.  I'd say right around freezing with no snow cover.  All the flags were removed, they were walking, and carrying two clubs apiece.  They were both dressed for the occasion.  That is dedication in my book.
