Yes, the greens are green!
I've had a few questions about what we sprayed on the greens last week that made them green. It was not "paint"! It was a plant health product that we use with our snow mold application and it has a green pigment. The green pigment is what you see on the turf. At the very least it should make our snow mold application more effective and it may even help delay dormancy as well as help the plant "wake up" in the spring.
The initial green color is real green. However the sun and rain have already started to mellow the color out towards a more natural looking green.
We did the West course last week and will be doing the East course in the next few days.
Picture below shows a sprayed green ( members/right ) versus a green that isn't sprayed ( public/left ). If you played last week you can probably already see the dulling of color.
