Many may have noticed the Greens being covered in sand last week, this is called Topdressing the Greens with sand. With all of the rounds we had over the winter a heavy topdressing helps fill in ball marks and helps firm up the Greens, among many more benefits to the plant itself. Before the Topdressing Greens were very spongy. Now after the Tropdressing, Greens are much more firm and speeds have picked up.
Heres a picture of the Green after the sand has been put down. We went a little heavier to help fill in ball marks. With 1.5" of rain coming it will help really wash the sand down into the canopy of the plant.
We brushed and rolled the sand to help evenly distribute it around the Green. This moved the sand into the ball marks and also sped the Greens up after the sand was put down.
You can see after everything we did, along with mother nature you can't even tell we put down any sand.
