Greens Update

Greens aerification was 10 days ago and our putting surfaces are recovering well. We started mowing on Monday (9/15) at a little above 1/8 inch (.135"). We make it a point to mow without baskets, as we don't want to pickup any of the remaining sand. We also made a calcium and potassium application on Monday that should slowly feed the greens over the next six months. Tuesday, bentgrass seed was put down to continue to encourage a more sustainable plant type. Yesterday the height of cut was reduced to .125" (no baskets) and today through the weekend we will be mowing at .125" (with baskets). This coming Monday (9/22) we will again drop our height of cut to .115", which is our desired cutting height for the next few months. At that point, its fine tuning, as we will continue to lightly groom and topdress until the greens are completely healed. 

Thanks for you patience...........
