With the recent temperatures slipping lower than we have
seen in over ten years here in the low country, Colleton River is definitely feeling
this brutal winter weather. Frozen
pipes, broken above grounds valves, and plants with low temperature burn are
just a few damages we have experienced that has been quite severe for our
area. We have begun the cleanup
throughout the property from the wind gusts of over 30 mph, as well as cutting
back the damage to much of the plant material injured. The full effect of the latest “winter vortex”
will show itself fully over the next few days on the golf courses as the color
begins to fade on the grass from green to a light tan as the plant moves into full
dormancy. While mostly only an
aesthetic challenge, it will slow the thickening of the over-seed on the tees,
Nicklaus fairways and Dye greens. We
will begin painting these areas this week and anticipate things looking closer
to normal in the next couple of weeks.
