Graden

We have purchased our new machine the graden contour sand injection, this will greatly help us with firming the greens up, drying up faster after rainfall and be more disease resistant. This machine will take out the thatch in 2mm channels 1 inch apart and fills with kilin dried sand. After a roll, disturbance will be at a minimum, it will just be visual lines but will not affect ball roll. We hope to start using the graden on the greens in the next few weeks, I plan to split each green in half and do half at a time then let that side recover before we do the other side. Using the graden is as affective as coring the greens 3 and a half times with large tines but with hardly little effect on the putting surface as the channels are back filled straight away with sand. Below are some photos.
