Water Feature at Hyde Park

The last rain event accumulated about just over inch, but it arrived extremely fast. Overall, the course held-up well including the newly laid stone on #6. As you can see with the attached video the velocity of the water was extremely fast. Our concerns now shift to the low temperatures and standing water on the Zoysia grass fairways that may turn to ice over the next few days. We will continue to monitor and decide to remove if ice formation occurs. Rapid freezing to turfgrass plant in some situations can be detrimental, especially to a warm season turf such as Zoysia.

Thank-you,
