Warm Weather?

The unseasonably warm weather we have been experiencing is showing on the course.  The color of the grass is holding its green later into the year.  The soil temperatures, rain and sun have created some growth of the grass also.  On a walk today, the fairways have noticeably grown since our last mowing of the year.  It is not hard to find patches in the fairways like this patch in the picture.  Of all this talk about unseasonably warm weather, last year at this time we had 50 degree weather and almost an inch of rain.  However, we had already received about 8 inches of snow by this time.

This picture shows how green the grass is in the fairways.
