This may be premature, but can we consider the possibility of allowing tee-off next to the tee pads? I might want to have some sort of yak-trak devices for the ice and they are not great on concrete....

As long as people stay off the tee pads Friday they should be very easy to clean Saturday before it starts. Tee pad condition really depends on if people can stay off of them until snow stops and they get cleaned

Teeing off to the side normally isn't a big deal for most snow events. That said it's up to the td. For what it's worth if you don't already have the yak track things I wouldn't bother. My wife had a set that I tried putting on my shoes and they're okay just for walking ... more

i've had success using them in icy conditions. just planning for all contingencies.

Absolutely! We will definitely allow for teeing off beside or behind the tee pad just no closer to the target than the normal end of the tee pad. We want everyone to be safe.
