Traffic on turf

Here is a very good example of why I talk about traffic all winter on the dormant turf.

This on 18 tee where we did that drainage project this winter, and had the area roped off forcing all the carts over to the left side.  You can see where all the carts drove is greening up and coming out of dormancy a lot slower than the area that did not have cart traffic. 

A great example of why I stress to scatter cart traffic, do not drive where the cart in front of you drove, and the imapct it has on the condition of our golf course come spring.
