USGA:Bermudagrass Winter Injury On Tees, Fairways and Rough

Weekly practice tee growth status.

Weekly growth status of L-36 Bermudagrass at the practice tee. These pictures will show recovery on a week by week basis. The long cold winter we had with the cooler spring so far has retarded the spring green-up of this warm season grass. Once the temperatures warm up the recovery will hasten and we will experience the benefits of this turf on our practice tee. 

Rain on Friday causes concern about Spring Derby..... Still get's played on the weekend.

As of 3:30 pm Friday , 2.7" rain

How things don't change between 1927 and 2014.

I have no words!
