Covers For Greens

Do you have any position on the use of winter sport field covers for greens such as those made by Evergreen http://evergreenturfcovers.com/

Hi Wayne.

Good question. I don’t know of any lawn bowling club that has covered their greens for the winter. I know that one fall at Burlington they reseeded a large patch on their south green and covered it with a piece of cover they got from a local golf course. The part that was covered was more advanced than the rest of the green in early spring.

Some golf courses use them and some don’t. Hidden Lake covers their greens every fall. They are the only one around here. I will ask around and let you know.

If you can afford to buy the cover and have the manpower to install it, I am sure it would work well but it is not cheap to buy and not easy to lay down on your green. It has to be well- secured to last the whole winter. If not, then with the first wind storm it will be gone.

Hope this helps.
Charles

The Almonte Lawn Bowling club has put down covers .
We will know in early spring how well they worked.
We have had many days of freezing rain. At the moment, the covers look like they are protecting the green very well.
We have 5.8 inch bubble wrap on the turf.The solid plastic tarps are on top.You can write for more info or reply to the web administrator on our site.
