A cornerstone in our pursuit of perfection on our greens is a consistent topdressing program. We topdress light every other week during the season. This allows us to not only brush and groom the greens to stand the old bentgrass up, but it allows us to continue to build up our rootzone with sand. This is very important as it allows the greens to drain better, putt better and receive a golf ball better. Since I have been here we have accumulated around 4-5" of a sand layer which is very impressive. This allows us to also manage the greens much more aggressively in the summer months to keep conditions consistent season long. So if you see us out there applying sand to the greens, understand, this is a top reason our greens are in the shape they are currently in.
