It has been a concern of some members over frost and the subsequent delays causes by frost. There is a great video at USGA.org that explains what happens to grass when frost effected turf is walked on or driven across.
The management at WVCC makes every effort to get our members on the golf course as quick as possible. A couple of suggestions have come up like....Why don't we shotgun players off when the frost is melted? When a decision is made to allow players to go off the 1st hole because at that moment the 1st and 2nd holes are frost free (the greens at 4,8 and 11 are still in full shade and may not see the sun for an addition half hour) and when the golfers reach number three it is also frost free. It may take an hour or so before all the holes can be deemed frost free.
So please be patient on those frosty mornings knowing that we have your golfing enjoyment as our top priority.
