The bermudagrass fairways on Newport greened up way earlier than I have ever seen. Usually the bermuda greens up in mid-April. Early this week, we had two nights with temperatures in the low 30s. All cart tracks have turned purple. This is NOT a result of any kind of chemical/fertilizer application. This is a stunting caused by the cold weather. My only thought would be the tracks lie lower to the ground. The temperature is colder near the ground. This also is why we resist the temptation to mow the bermudagrass early. The loss of the insulation of the dead material from last year would leave the bermuda exposed to the cold temperature and cause issues later in the spring.
