Verticutting And Topdressing







We were about a week behind our topdressing schedule because of last week's events. Thursday we played catch up by really attacking some of the grooming on the greens. First we used vertical mower blades to help smooth out the surface and remove some organic mater in the turf. We followed this by a light sand topdressing application. After dragging in the sand with a mat we finished with a slow release granular fertilizer 18-9-18 that consists of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Now that we have arrived at summer these nutrients are critical to help handle the stresses of the season.
