Temperature Comparison March 2012 vs March 2013

 

Temperatures have been running well below normal for all of central Illinois so far this month. Average temperatures have been 3 to 5 degrees below normal. This is in stark contrast to last March, which saw all-time record warmth for the month with readings averaging around 14 degrees above normal for the month.  We have delayed the rolling and mowing on greens, tees and fairways due to the abnormal temperatures.  Once air and soil temperatures increase we will resume our normal spring practices.  During this down time we have been able to accomplish some much needed detail work around the golf course such as; adding cobble stone to worn cart path edges, flower bed weeding, edging and mulching, and prepping tree scar areas.
