Naples version of Winter

  With all the snow being dumped on the Northeast I thought it would be a great time to                      remind  all of our member and guests how lucky we are to at Stonebridge.  The next 5 to                 10 days are expected to give us some cooler weather.  These temperatures will slow the                         growth rate of our Bermuda grass and may effect color retention.  I do not foresee our                        soil temperatures lowering to the point of dormancy.  The amount of stored carbohydrates                     in the plant will keep the turf healthy.  Traffic patterns will be more noticeable during                            this period so please take the "Road less Traveled".  The possibility of Frost is always concerning those that have tee times.  Any delays will be promptly communicated from myself to the Pro Shop staff and onto the effected members.  We do employ a multitude of trade secrets to prevent frost and to hasten the resumption of play.  A timely application of nutrients will help restore any lost color in a short period of time.  

We look forward to improving the course throughout the season and providing an excellent playing surface for all of our members and guests.  The drier, cooler temperatures will produce firmer, faster conditions.   Bundle up and enjoy the Winter at Stonebridge.
