With high winds the last 2 nights, our covers were blown off the 4 greens we have covered. On #8, I only have the back half of the green covered because this was the last tarp and I would rather use it somewhere. You can see the greens are still covered in a lot of sand but you can see how much greener the back half that was covered is compared to the front half. Again, the covers keep the greens warmer underneath (greenhouse effect) allowing the turf to grow through the sand quicker.
