you are correct about playing on frost but wrong about playing on frozen ground. I have been a Superintendent for over 20 years and have seen the damage first hand.

How does playing on frozen ground damage the course? I'm not doubting you, just asking because I don't know.

couple of ways. when it does thaw a bit on top it will cause root shearing. when its frozen you are mashing the crown of the plant into rock hard soil. think of the crown as a grape and the soil is a hardwood floor. step on the grape and see what happens. same thing happens to the crown.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By Sammydreep ·

      Yes, slightly. Hitting driver and three wood much better, generally straight or a slight draw, Especially since I upgraded from ping G 410 to G 430. Both clubs have 2degrees more loft. That together with a slight swing  change, improved technology ,definitely getting more distance.  On the downside not hitting my ions as well as normal, pitching definitely improving, especially for someone who got to a four handicap 30 years ago and couldn’t pitch . Chipping a bit up and down, pardon the pun, that was definitely one of the reasons I got to that  handicap when I played many moons  ago, ( I stopped playing for 20 years), better short putter than I was before Had quite a few opportunities to shoot my age, 73, mostly didn’t chip as well as I could when I had the chance.
