• @pryorcreek_turf Some call me crazy, but here’s my frost theory at Pryor Creek.

Our cue comes from the south-facing tin roof on our maintenance shop. When it starts dripping, we start golfing. There may still be frost in the shadows, but we’ve seen very little damage with this approach.

It’s a practice built on our observations here, and it won’t fit every golf course. For us, it has become a valuable way to accommodate a busy daily tee sheet and outing schedule through the shoulder seasons.

Now that the clocks have fallen back, afternoon daylight is precious. On a 50–55-degree day, we can still do approximately 200 rounds—even in November. Every hour of a morning frost delay affects how many golfers can finish before dark.

We were facing a problem: turning away rounds and events despite having a beautiful day ahead. This is how we chose to solve it while continuing to watch how our turf responds.

Some call it crazy. I call it knowing your property, learning from experience, and solving problems. That’s what golf course superintendents do every day.

SportsTurf Irrigation recently traveled to Billings, Montana for the Peaks & Prairies GCSAA Fall Meeting & Trade Show, which was capped off by a golf event at Pryor Creek Golf Course. Despite a big storm a few days before and a frost delay the morning of, Superintendent Cole Clark and his team raced against the clock to pristinely prep the course for his fellow superintendents and agronomy team members! Enjoy this behind the scenes look at what goes on each and every morning before the first tee time! #golfcourse #golfcoursemaintenance #billingsmontana

SilverRock Resort in La Quinta, California officially reopened today after overseeding! We were there on Thursday as Golf Course Superintendent Chris Hoyer and his crew prepped the course for today’s opening, and as you can see from these drone shots, it’s beautiful! Much more to come … #staytuned
