This week we have taken steps to recover the turf we lost on the greens due to disease and Poa annua decline. First we aerified with a solid 3/8" tine and then topdressed with enough sand to fill the holes. We then seeded all of the greens with the same hybrid bentgrass that we used for #4 green and will use for #7 & #11 greens. Next we rolled the greens to push the seed down into the holes and below the turf canopy to insure good seed/soil contact. We will be keeping the greens moist so the seed does not dry out. This is essential for germination and seed survival. At times it may be necessary to turn the sprinklers on for three minute cycles during the day. We will keep the interruptions to players at a minimum.
