| Question: | "I would like to have your opinion on watering greens in October. In this region the weather is generally very cold at nights in October, followed by warm days. Dew is on the grass almost all day. Heavy frosts occur at night, water freezing in buckets. The dry warm days make the greens hard. Some of our members think the greens should be watered to soften them so that a ball will lie where pitched. I have, however, always thought that water was not necessary for plant life during its dormant period." |

| Answer/Response: | "We have found it necessary to water our greens here at Washington frequently in October on account of the exceedingly dry weather. The grass in October is not completely in a dormant state, and therefore needs moisture. We believe you will find no bad effects from watering in October, but we would suggest that you water sufficiently long before evening so that the excess water may be absorbed by the soil and none is left on the grass to freeze during the night." |
