Green Speeds

Over the last two weeks the poa plants have been going to seed. This seed production makes the greens bumpy and slows down green speeds. This is typical for this time of the season. The seed heads have begun to thin out and the greens will slowly return to normal.

To add to the slow green speeds we have increased our fertilizer applications to assist in the recovery from the winter. This will increase shoot growth during the day so depending on the time of day you are playing there may be considerable growth.

The greens heights have been kept at a higher height of cut this spring do to the recovering greens. As they have been filling in and getting stronger we have been slowly lowering the heights and within the next few weeks we will have them back to seasonal heights.
