This week we had the course closed Monday and Tuesday for our greens renovation. We renovated our greens by vertidraining with 13mm solid tynes at 50mm spacings and at 150mm depth. This was followed by topdressing with Turf sand using the new Dakota 410 topdressing machine. The sand was then brushed in and then rolled to incorporate the sand into the tyne holes. After this process was completed we sprayed wetting agent on all greens and washed it in with irrigation to get the product into the soil profile. We also received timely rain which would have also helped. I expect quite rapid recovery from this renovation and we should be back to normal playing conditions in a week or two. Below are some photos of the process.
