We completed topdressing greens this morning and were able to brush and water in the sand in before the majority of golf was played. The greens will run a little slow for a bit now. We will be rolling greens tomorrow and then we will resume mowing on Thursday. On Thursday/Friday, we will be topdressing approaches. We will then be solid tining and brushing the approaches to help incorporate the sand. There is very minimal disruption to golf. We will do our best to have the job completed in a timely manner.
A week has passed since our annual spring greens aeration. We have had a mixed bag of weather, hot, dry, cold, wet and even frost! These conditions make it challenging to aid in healing, but with the more recent consistent warm temperatures we are seeing solid recovery. We were fortunate to have decent weather to complete the process on time, allowing us to fill all the holes created by the 1/2” hollow tines. As there are some minor depressions within some of the holes we will be beginning our bi-weekly topdressing program early next week. Our team is mowing and rolling our greens daily, while slowly lowering our height of cut to our summer norm. We all know that spring cultural practices are not popular among golfers, but these all important tasks are the building blocks for high performance greens conditions throughout the heart of the golf season.
