Golf Industry Show

Lots to see at the recent Golf Industry show in San Diego.  There are a lot of research and development efforts under way to further improve the quality of the game.  Over 10,500 superintendents gathered to keep a pulse on these efforts and spend class time listening and learning from professors and industry leaders from every aspect of golf course management.

2015 Fall Greens aerification

This years fall aerification for greens was a great success removing thatch produced over the summer and getting the much needed oxygen into the soil profile to the turfgrass root system.  Topdressing was applied and dragged into the holes. 
Organic fertilizer, along with gypsum-potassium and magnesium were applied following the topdressing process.
Next week we will verticut the green parameter, over seed and apply topdressing again to fill the remaining aerification holes left from the previous week.
