Fore the Golfer: Facts About Fertilization

This article from the USGA provides information about fertilizer use on golf courses.
I typically am very conservative with fertilizer, but the membership survey revealed a desire for thicker rough and greener turf throughout the golf course. In response to these comments, we have increased the amount of fertilizer that will be applied to fairways and rough. The fairway fertilizer will be applied on May 9th, while the rough application will be delayed to avoid excessive growth that would significantly impact playability and pace of play.
We remain committed to environmental stewardship, and will continue to use fertilizer and control products in a safe, responsible manner.
