Greens Maintenance

Today we verticut and topdressed the greens in preparation for the Invitational Tournament. The greens will be a little soft and slow for the next few days as we try to wash in the sand and help the turf recover from the procedure. 

Some of the greens suffered some drought stress this afternoon. The strong sun and dry winds combined with the abrasive grooming and brushing damaged some of the leaf tissue causing it to turn purple. We watered the greens immediately after brushing and restored the moisture that was lost, and the turf should recover nicely by the weekend. We will resume our regular mowing and rolling schedule in a couple of days, and once we are comfortable that the turf has recovered we will begin the tournament preparation process.
