Course work

We gave all the greens (except 14) a top dress last week, we went on fairly light so this brushed in pretty much straight away.  We never dressed 14 as the green was drying out and the sand would have stressed it out.  My irrigation system was down and we wouldn't have been able to keep it moist.  We got it the irrigation sorted on Thursday but that was too close to weekend to dress.  We got the 14th dressed to day.  As well as top dressing we also spiked, over seeded and put out a soil improver.  This had the extra work as the greens turf is new and has not got the moisture or nutrient holding capacity it of the other greens.

We have also liquid fed the greens and added in a growth regulator, iron and wetting agent.  The new 14th green got a granular as this will not so readily wash through with rain.
