Green Edges redefined

We are going to locate the original green well edge on holes #1 and # 14 on Greywalls first thing in the spring.  The perimeter has grown larger over the years from mower operator error; which is unavoidable and happens everywhere.  The 2015 club survey identified these two greens as a problem for some golfers.  The greens were constructed with a 16" sand root zone so it is easy to identify the original edge.  We will core aerify the perimeter and mark where the sand cores meet the native soil cores.  

Here is a picture from last season when we aerified the green perimeters.  You can see the darker native soil cores to the right and the lighter sand cores to the left.
