it's that time of year and the last two outings our rounds have been pushed back 2 1/2-3 hours due to frost. even when they finally let us go, there's still a few shaded greens that are still frozen. i hit into a par 3 hole and landed it onto the green and bounced 15 feet into the air and straight off the back. just brutal. anyways, since it gets dark early too this time of year, its pretty hard to see near the end of the round. managed to grab a couple of pictures of a local municipal course i played(Riverway). c'mon Spring time!

It's that stuff I have to scrape out of my beer fridge ever 6 months.

Did you give it to some ducks?

I'm glad they attempt to contain the frost within the boundaries of the course with all those mounds!

yup, lot of mounds, but they line the fairways, so just hit it straight and its all good.

let me guess, next response is: "what's straight?"

Hey TWC,

Love the photos & course anecdotes. Keep 'em coming mate.

By the way, didn't Nixon also have problems with Frost?

Coaster, what grass type/s do you have on the greens and fairways? Nice looking course...Peter Thompson have any input in the design?

razaar,

us British Columbians know our grass, even the golfing kind. :mrgreen:

the greens are Bent grass and the fairways Bluegrass. a fellow named Les Furber designed it.

With all those mounds I am surprised someone hasn't asked whether Henno had a hand in the course deisgn

I agree, harden the **** up. Just because the ducks are cold is no excuse of delaying a round. I hope those photos aren't serious?
