Ready for 2013

I am pleased to announce we have started off the 2013 season on a positive note.  Golfweek Magazine has just released their 2013 Top 100 Classical Golf Course in America, where the Country Club of Scranton was ranked #92 and even had a picture displayed in the magazine.  The past two years has been very hectic for both the Green Department and the Membership with all the construction that took place.  I am looking forward to giving the membership back their golf course this season with very minimal interruption. With warmer temperatures around the corner we are going to be able to get out and evaluate how we made it through the Winter.  The warmer temperatures this weekend may allow us to open the Falls to Temporary Greens Only.  The ground is completely frozen from recent cold temperatures and will take some time to thaw.  In order for us to open the greens we need to have the root zone of the putting surface completely thawed.  Opening up putting greens with frozen soil will result in root damage to the putting surfaces.  We will keep you posted.
