Greens Maintenance

For the next two weeks, one lawn will be unavailable due to fertilizing maintenance so croquet and bowls will be sharing one lawn. This means croquet set- up will be two 3/4 courts close to the boundary, thus allowing three lanes for bowling.

Greens Update
Jan 8 @ 8:00 am – Jan 11 @ 9:00 pm
Wednesday the greens will be open for “LIMITED” play for both Bowls and Croquet. Limited Play will be in place until further notice
 
LIMITATIONS OF PLAY:
Set-up and Play shall be NO earlier than 12:00 noon and end at 4:00 p.m. Also Please stay away from the center of the Greens allowing for a 5m radius as that is where the moisture is the greatest (7-8 of 10 on the hydrometer). I realize this will be difficult for Croquet to set up a full field but I have noticed a narrow field of play previously. I apologize for this inconvenience.
Also a reminder of “Footwear”. Please be conscious of this aspect.
Just for everyone’s information: An average size (150-200 lb.) individual exerts 5-6 lbs./sq. inch when in a neutral standing state. That is with a flat soled shoe so shoes with nubs or heels will be concentrated in these areas. NO you don’t need to play in your bare feet this is just for you to see how greens this time of year can be impacted by traffic on soft, saturated greens.
Any questions or concerns please contact me.
With much Warmth and Gratitude for your patience and understanding.
