The greens crew has been working extremely hard to recover the greens areas that were lost from the past winter. There are a few thin areas on edges of greens, but we have been very successful in growing a lot of grass on the turf surface. All of the greens have been but in play, but still require significant attention and, many grooming practices to improve how they play.
This week we started that journey. The greens were verti-cut on Wednesday, to eliminate some lateral growth as well as thinning out some of the dense POA areas. Many seed heads from new POA that re-established itself was removed during this process.

On Thursday we top dressed the greens as well as brushed the sand into the canopy. The drag brush stood up an abundance of unwanted growth, and we were able to mow quite a bit of this grass off the greens.

These processes removed some of the puffiness feel out of the greens, and created a better surface. The greens this weekend have shown a little injury from our maintenance but will continue to improve. You will see similar processes as above being preformed over the next few weeks as we slowly restore the greens into form.
