Frost Delay Policy
In order to provide equal opportunity for playing time to both morning and afternoon players, the following policy will apply when play is delayed due to frost.
- The Golf Shop will maintain a log of frost delays for both golf courses.
- The Golf Course Superintendent will determine the length of each frost delay.
- The first frost delay on a given day of the week of the winter golf season will have a PLAN A in effect.
- Under PLAN A, all tee times will be delayed by the length of the morning frost delay. In this case, depending on the length of delay, scheduled afternoon golfers may not have available daylight to complete 18 holes of play.
- The second instance of a frost delay, on a given day of the week (Monday, Tuesday.... etc.) for either course "where afternoon times will not finish before dark", PLAN B will be in effect.
- Under PLAN B, all scheduled tee times prior to the lifting of the frost delay will be cancelled. For example, if the Golf Course Superintendent determines the course is available for play beginning at 9 A.M., then players scheduled for 9 A.M. will be the first tee time for that day. All scheduled tee times earlier than 9 A.M. will be cancelled, resulting in no delays for the remainder of the day. Those players, whose tee times were cancelled due to the frost delay, may choose to play at an available tee time later in the day.
- The remainder of the winter golf season at each course will alternate between PLAN A and PLAN B. The Golf Shop will determine if PLAN A or PLAN B will be in effect on a daily basis for each course based on the above parameters.
Exceptions to the above policy will be made for Charter League play. Charter League play days at each course will follow PLAN A, and all other tee times will be delayed at the course(s) where the Charter League is playing. If a Charter League is using one course and there is no Charter League play at the other course, the alternating PLAN A or PLAN B will be in effect according to the frost delay log maintained by the Golf Shop.
What will the next frost delay be? As there have been no delays this season, the next frost delay will be a Plan A at each course.
