Topdressing Fairways

Thursday, we began topdressing fairways. This is a once a year program that we do to incorporate sand into the soil profile. The benefits include smoothing out any small depressions, filling in divots, dissolving the thatch layer, reducing compaction and improving root health.
Fairways 9,10 and 18 were done yesterday.

  1. Is there any fall cultural practices that can be done to help the grass stay alive during the winter and to promote faster green-up during the spring?

  2. Thanks for the question. There are a number of things we can do to promote healthier plants for the spring time. I'll make it my next post.
