Question: | "We decided to give the Greenkeeper full power to close the course if he thought frost conditions were bad enough. I wondered if you had any propaganda condemning play in frost. Our course is on heavy land and I have received a lot of criticism because we have stopped caddy carts being used in adverse conditions. Do you support such a decision?" |
Answer/Response: | "We note you are giving the Greenkeeper full power to stop play in frosty conditions. This tends to throw all the onus and unpopularity on this very valuable man. It would be in the interests of club spirit if the decision was a joint one by the Chairman of the Green Committee or his deputy and the Greenkeeper. With regard to frost damage I enclose a leaflet prepared on the subject. Under adverse conditions caddy carts have much to do with surface deterioration where concentration of traffic occurs and are best kept off the course in winter. If a ban is not possible then some sort of effective restrictions are necessary, i.e., temporary fencing or demarcation lines." |
