Photo of the week: spring greenup and north/south slopes

I visited a golf course in Tennessee last week that had some excellent displays of spring greenup as influenced by north and south-facing slopes. One of the target greens on the 'Latitude 36' bermudagrass driving range floor has an east-west ridge dissecting the green. This creates one slope that faces to the tee at the north end of the range, and another south-facing slope that faces the tee at the south end of the range.

There is a big difference…
