Spring Treatment part 2 (Fairways)

The past week we have started with the fairways and what we are doing this year is a very deep verti cutting and scarifying to remove all the thatch. This is done to help with leveling of the fairways by removing small humps and bumps also growth from overfilled divots that etc.With doing this we will get fresh new growth coming through as we moving into spring. This process will also remove most of the grain on the fairways as the cynodon dactylon (common Bermuda) we have on them is a very grainy grass.

Widening of fairways 1,3,5,8,9,10,11,14,16,17 where done !!!

 Scarifying 18th fairway with the amazone. The fairway was wet due to the heavy rain we have had so we had to go over the fairway again to sweep up all clippings.
