It has been two weeks since the greens were renovated and full recovery isn't far away. The growth is still quite slow but I don't want to push it along too much and encourage the Poa annua at the expense of the Browntop bentgrass.
We have taken the opportunity to put out wetting agent on the greens, tees and areas on fairways that tend to dry out too much during summer. We have used 50/90 wetting agent which is a long term product that will give us a 90 day effective time frame before another application is made.
I will be taking moisture readings on all greens this week and it will be interesting to see if the wetting agent has had an effect on evening out the moisture profile.
We have also slightly lowered the cutting height of the fairway mower for the spring growth and the fairways are starting to look nice. We still have some more areas that need treatment with wetting agent and we will be spraying all fairways shortly for weed control.
