Extreme weather conditions this year have wreaked havoc with our maintenance schedules. Heavy rains this spring and unrelenting heat this summer have made it difficult to get into any kind of routine.
Yesterday, we were able to topdress greens with a light application of sand. Topdressing is one of our most important cultural practices.
Topdressing:
- Produces a smooth firm putting surface
- Dilutes thatch
- Allows for lower mowing heights
- Protects the crowns of the plants
- Increases ball-roll distance
