Greens Renovation

A second top dressing of sand was completed on the greens this week. Our own sand spreader broke down so a demo model was used to finish the job. The demo was was like a Rolls Royce in comparison and completed the job is less than half the time and with 3 less staff.

The greens were mowed this morning at about 11.00 am at 5mm. The are looking smooth and will be done a couple more times at 5 mm before lowering ( if all goes OK ) to 4mm next Saturday.

The turfing on the first near the new concrete pathway was completed today. The McLeod Son's did a great job putting it down and then secured  it down with over 600large wire pins.

  1. I provide maintenance to many Las Vegas golf courses and using a demo is SO much faster than a traditional sand spreader. We began out aeration this past week as well. I dislike fall treatments a lot.
