Today we took the opportunity with the cooler temps to vent and top dress the greens. What we are trying to accomplish here is to allow the greens the opportunity to breath there by promoting air and water exchange. This is a valuable tool in relieving compaction as well. From the players perspective this is non aggressive and will close up in a few days. We utilize the top dressing to continue to dilute the organic matter in the top 2 inches of the green. The sand also makes the greens smoother and firmer and will help with ball roll and greens speeds.

Once mowed and rolled the holes will close up and
the sand will disappear after a few days. |
