I get a lot of Frost delay questions this time of year. I was able to find this video from the USGA that helps explain the potential problems with frost.

Hope this helps explain the need for delays

Our first Big frost delay. Temperatures at Live Oak 27 degrees. The delay is going to be until 9:30 this morning at both courses. Should turn out to be a nice sunny day so come out to play.
Thanks

Today we were able to mow and get some fertilizer out on the fairways. This will help the overseeding take off and also feed the bermudagrass going into dormancy. We also fertilized the DR tee today.
This week we are going back to our regular cart path rules - that we have done over the summer months. There are a few wet areas so please keep an eye out and avoid those areas.
Thank you and come out and enjoy this Great weather,
The GCM Staff.
Tomorrow (Friday) Yaupon is reopening from our overseeding application. Today we were able to mow greens, fairways, collars, and approaches. The first few mowings will be done in the afternoons so we can mow when the turf is dry. This helps use from not tracking seed and not needing to blow after mowing. Yaupon will be CART PATH Only for a week or so. We should be back to normal mowing later next week. Here are a few pictures from today’s mowing:
Last few days we have been dealing with some irrigation hydraulic issues. The result of the issues is that the sprinkler heads come on and/or seep out the top of the heads - This has caused some wet areas especially on 1 and 9 as they are closest to the pump house. As a reminder overseeding of the Yaupon course will start on Monday 10/19

We worked on the drainage culverts on 14 pond at Live Oak. During the heavy rains recently the water under cut the area and caused a sink hole. Good work bY Alex to repair the hole and wash. Here are a few pictures.
