Final Stages of Winter Prep......


As Winter slowly arrives, we are wrapping up the final few tasks to winterize the golf course.  Last week, we made the final chemical application for the season to Greens, Tees, Fairway/Approaches.  This application targets both Pink and Grey Snow Mold.  This week, we will complete the topdressing of greens (images above) and brushing it in.  This will affect the ball roll for the remainder of the golfing season, but is a vital cultural practice that's used to help protect the plant from winter desiccation.  We will also be using a Greens Cover to protect #12 green complex this winter.  Once topdressed, we'll cover and the green will be out of commission until the Spring temperatures/conditions allow us to remove.
