There's a good 90% of the snow gone from the front 12 holes. However there is a lot of ice about, which is the main reason the course will remain closed today I'm afraid. On the plus side, the greens look very well considering they have been covered in snow for about 2 weeks. There is a worry that disease can form underneath the snow because of the microclimate it creates. From what I can see I'm pleased to say that this isn't the case. This is because the greens were nice and healthy before the snow fall. Once all the snow and ice has gone, I shall have a good look around for the start of any disease and spray it where necessary. The temperature is predicted to get upto around 12 degrees by tomorrow, so, depending on the amount of rain we have, I am hopeful in getting at least the front 12 holes open, albeit on temporary greens.
