Jake Schimitz, superintendent at Olympic Hills, Eden Prairie, Minn., talks to Nick Klinkhammer about the management and recovery process of creeping bentgrass within a Hot House. Originally developed by Robert Distel, who at the time was superintendent at Wayzata Country Club, he experimented with 10-mil reinforced plastic sheeting to develop a Hot House to promote germination of new creeping bentgrass seedlings. The following year, Schimitz took this idea and applied to his troubled greens that he consistently has problems with coming out of winter.
