Frost

Last week we experienced some very cold mornings and most of those mornings included frost delays. Here in the maintenance department we talk a lot about frost and the potential damage it can do. The frost never really does damage but having any traffic on the turf in frosty conditions does do some damage. A lot of the times it is very cosmetic and superficial damage to the turf. It bends and bruises the turf blade and causes some unsightly damage. Here is a photo of foot prints where someone walked across the turf while the frost was still present.
