We have just completed deep solid tining of the fairways in preparation for the upcoming gypsum application. This will mechanically loosen the soil as well as open channels for the gypsum, water, and oxygen to enter the rootzone.
Tees will be hollow cored starting this week and then heavily top-dressed to help eliminate thatch buildup. We will keep the course open and work around play. The plugs will be removed between tee rocks while we continue clean-up to reduce any disruption of golf. Once we start I will post pictures of the process and update our progress.
In early December we will spiking the greens in order for oxygen and rainfall to enter the profile. This will help to reduce standing water from freezing and causing damage to the surface of the greens. Topdressing will also be applied before winter sets in to help protect the plants and reduce thatch.
