The golf and grounds crew has begun our spring application of sand on the fairways.Our fairway topdressing program consists of applying 40 tons of sand per acre of fairway turf throughout the season,( usually in 2 applications).
The sand applied will aid in the reduction of our organic matter levels; help smooth the playing surface; and aid in drainage. The goal is to apply enough sand over a 8 to 10 year period to smooth and modify the growing environment to provide a firmer and faster playing surface.
