The Effects of Green Winter Clothing
-Protection from frost and freezing damage: Protection from frost damage in late autumn and frost damage in winter dawn.
-Prevent freezing of grass surface: Prevents freezing and increases ground temperature
-Protecting the grass from visitors: When the first team plays after early December, the green is frozen and there is a high risk of damage, so it is necessary to cover the grass to reduce freezing. In addition, the hardness of the green can be relieved to some extent by increasing the geothermal heat due to the cover.
-Easy to re-snow and reduce damage to grass during re-snowing
Green winter clothing protects against winter frost and trampling.
The following points can be considered for winter covering management of golf courses:
Covering is essential: Covering is essential as early winter frosts and prolonged winters can cause grass to freeze.
The color of the cover is green polyfilm, which is most effective in maintaining green color.
If the internal temperature of the clothing rises above 3℃, there is a high possibility of winter diseases occurring, so check regularly and ventilate to avoid excessive humidity.
To prevent the grass from drying out, water regularly during the aboveground dormant period, taking into account the weather. After watering, make sure to organize the sprinklers well.
The areas around tee boxes and greens that golfers frequently step on are blocked off or the paths are changed, and protective materials such as coniferous leaves or mulch are laid down to protect the crown of the grass.
In areas where temperatures drop below freezing or snow falls heavily, it is recommended to close for at least three weeks to protect the grass. If operating, it is essential to change the holes (cups) for every 100 to 150 visitors in the winter to protect the grass in the spring.
Also, the areas where golfers frequently step on, such as tee boxes and greens, are blocked or the paths are changed. Protective materials such as coniferous leaves or mulch are laid there to protect the crown of the grass.
During the off-season, secure maintenance and repairs for course management equipment and consumables for annual use. In particular, it is advisable to prepare in advance for foreign equipment, as it takes a lot of time to procure parts.
The most important thing to pay attention to in winter is to inspect the sprinkler heads and pipes and to always check and confirm whether there are any abnormalities in the frozen parts.
To prevent grass from drying out even in winter, water regularly to prevent grass roots, which continue to breathe even during the dormant period above ground, from drying out. After watering, make sure to organize the sprinklers well.
In particular, covering is essential in early winter because frost occurs and the grass freezes as the winter season gets longer. In the case of covering, if the internal temperature of the green rises above 3℃, there is a high possibility of various winter diseases occurring, so check regularly and ventilate regularly to prevent excessive humidity to effectively manage the green.
