This past Monday August 12th the Turfcare team took advantage of the maintenance morning to relieve some compaction and stress from greens. Over the past three weeks, while welcomed the lack of rain had greens compacted and we were dealing with lots of isolated stress spots. This program will allow the greens to take water, get some much needed oxygen and reduce the compaction stress. To start the week as a result of this the greens will roll slower and remain soft. A couple days of repetitive mowing and we should see the greens firm up again. Next Monday we are hopeful to complete a light topdressing to smooth greens roll out.
Respectfully,
Shawn Major, AGS
