I hope everyone had a safe holiday and wishing all the best for <strong>2016</strong>!<br />
December temperatures were very unusual and even had the bermudagrass<br />
greening up in areas. One would have to expect that winter will return and with a<br />
vengeance! But let us enjoy what good golfing days we can get in. It is still important<br />
Life to pitch and in Events and fill as at many divots with the sand as possible throughout the winter<br />
months. Mimosa This Hills prepares us to be caught up for the spring awakening of the<br />
bermudagrass. Every little bit helps. A special thanks to the folks that go above and<br />
beyond the call of duty.<br />

Below is a report from Dr. Rick Brandenburg from NCSU that I found interesting from<br />
their ‘Turffiles’ site, which is a wealth of information for anyone interested to tap<br />
into. Check it out!<br />

WARM DECEMBER WEATHER MEANS...?<br />
DECEMBER 14, 2015<br />
BY RICK BRANDENBURG<br />
What will the warm weather in December do to the insect problems next spring? I<br />
get these questions a lot. What will the mild winter do, or what will the cold winter<br />
do to our insect problems next spring and summer?<br />
The answer is always the same: ALMOST NOTHING! Whether the winter is cold or<br />
mild, insects manage to survive and be ready for warm temperatures in the spring<br />
much the same each year. The most important factors are spring temperatures and<br />
the rainfall. And please, don't pay any attention to the woolly worm and how wide<br />
the stripe is on its back. The width of the stripe is merely a reflection of the age of<br />
the caterpillar not of the upcoming winter weather.<br />
