As with most springs we always seem to have some spring dead spot that is expensive to control. This spring was no different, but it seems not to be as bad in some fairways. WHY? The answer that Dr Lucas with the CGA gave was less cart traffic due to wet weather this winter. We do have few spots of winter kill mainly caused by cold temperatures in January with no snow cover. The areas also receive heavy foot and cart traffic, that results in compaction of the soil. If you have played other area courses you have seen the damage they have as well
