Tuesday marked the inaugural day of topdressing tees. Our tees are showing signs of being puffy and in a few small areas scalp marks are occurring after mowing. Topdressing with sand will aid in firming the playing surface, diluting the thatch mat and will also make a smoother tee.
On Wednesday we continued our sand onslaught. #6 fairway has been a focus of our topdressing attention over the past 2 years and the improved conditioning of the fairway is in large part due to this. Our goal is to make an application each month. This is directly dependent on the weather, though.
