week 45 update

This week has been spent mowing and watering, with the dry weather the turf is in need of constant waterings.
we have been continuing with our turfing program with areas on the 3rd fairway near the green being done.


(Above - Here is the sand and gypsum being rubbed into the core holes on the next section on the 8th fairway)


(  Second photo  -  is of the second patch done on the 8th and is 2 weeks after treatment note all the new growth)

also with the turfing we have been doing areas with the verti-drain using core tynes to hollow tyne an area then move the good turf plugs (cores) into the areas that are thin or bare then topdressing and feeding these areas and it comes up good. the main areas we are concentrating on with this method is the 7th and 8th the first areas on the 8th we did 5 weeks ago are nearly all covered in in these areas we have also added gypsum to the soil profile to help break up the sediment left by the flood waters.
We also got in a verti-cut on the greens with out bringing up too much sand and with a few more it will continue to smooth out the roll on the greens. till next time ..keep swinging...pete
