Something I think the superintendents should investigate, is the feasibility of closing a couple of greens at a time to try and get them healthy...and set up 'temporary greens.'
Most of us who have played where there is a winter, have played courses in early spring...where this was done.
A small discount could be offered, allowing time to remediate some problem greens without closing the entire course, while still bringing in revenue...and could turn out to be a win-win.
Of course, an 'automatic two putt rule'...needs to apply.
As long as not too many greens were so designated on a specific 9...I personally would still play them.
BTW - You can still post scores to GHIN...with temporary greens.
