Topdressing

Today was another scheduled maintenance day on the Greywalls course.  We core aerified the clean-up pass on numbers 1, 7 & 14 greens to help us battle a fungus named Fairy Ring.  Completed next was a vertical mowing of every putting green and followed with a clean-up blow and a mowing using our reels with groomers.  Next we sand topdressed the greens and we dragged the sand into the canopy using our coco fiber drag mat.  Re-cutting the cup and cleaning the surface with our brush reels completed our days work in the field.  
Tomorrow we will continue the cleanup process by mowing the putting green surfaces with a heavy duty 7 blade reel set before we switch to our 11 blade sand reel set for another 3-4 days.  Following this week of sand reel mowing we will return to using our 15-blade primary greens reels.
