Rory McIlroy breaks down chip-in birdie on 17 at the Masters

The initial burst of sunshine and warmer temperatures may be a welcome sight, but more often than not, it is a false dawn. When spring-like temperatures arrive earlier than usual, they are typically followed by wintery conditions, hence the term “false spring.” If you’re planning on gardening, it's vital you avoid falling for this phenomenon, so here are some mistakes people regularly make this time of year. Many gardeners will fall for a false spring and rush to sow seeds in their gardens but this is a waste of time due to the incoming cold weather. There is also a rush to get a head start on some tasks, like cutting the grass, which can stunt its growth if it's covered in frost the next week. You should always check the long-range forecast, as it will give you an indication of whether spring has truly arrived or not.
