Name that Dew Pattern?


On my morning walk today, I noticed an odd dew pattern off in the distance on the 3rd hole. When grass gets dry, lacking moisture content, it won’t develop dew on the grass blades like turf that has plenty of moisture. In fact, this is one way of telling if grass needs irrigation water. We call that a weak dew pattern. However, I never saw #3 fairway behave like that. Upon closer inspection, the footprints are those of 2 bears and the larger areas are where the bears were rolling around, playing in the early morning hours.
