The photo above is a soil thermometer placed in #1 green. The magical temperature for creeping bentgrass and Poa annua growth is 65*F. You can see above, we are just a bit shy of that by about a couple degrees. Once our soil temps hit a minimum of 65*F, growth really picks up. Based on the weather we've experienced over the past month, I estimate we are 2 weeks ahead of where we normally are for this time of year. Today, the high temperature didn't get out of the 40's. The starting and stopping temperatures don't help the situation but once we are nailing 65*F on a daily basis, it's off to the races!
