Greens Grooming

Monday we went ahead and groomed the greens and applied a light amount of top dressing. What we want to accomplish with the grooming is to lightly cut into the turf canopy and by doing this it cuts the grass that tends to get laid over and not mowed by the greens mowers. The goal is to create a tighter playing surface and uniform ball roll. We have finally started the deep tine process in the fairways working 18 backwards, but wouldn't you know I broke a PTO Shaft. The repairs are in process and should be out later today. Mulch on the back is almost complete and will move all of our efforts in completing holes 2-9 here shortly. 

Notice the lines that the cutters leave, this is very hard to see.
