And Then They Were GREEN!

The greens were painted for the first time on Monday December 5th.  The paint is a specially formulated latex paint for use on ultradwarf putting greens.  The entire process took approximently 7 hrs to paint all 18 greens, putting green and nursery greens.  The 2primary reasons we paint the greens is to provide definition of the the dormant (brown) putting surface against the dormant fairways and to attract and maintain heat throughout the winter which will help the grass emerge from dormancy in the early spring.
