Once a week we close the tee for maintenance. This allows us to preform any cultural practices to the playing surfaces before the golfers get out on the course. All of these practices have many benefits but can be disruptive.We modify our plans on a weekly basis depending on the weather, playing surface health and golf schedule.The last four weeks this has been our process every maintenance day.
Aerate the greens with needle tines to open them up and vent the soils
The small needle tines make the holes hard to see even after the whole process is done
Verticutt to help stand up the grass and remove some organic matter
Topdress a thin coat of sand on to smooth playing surface and dilute remaining organic matter
Brushes on the back of the sandpro to help move sand around evenly
Sweep to move sand into soil profile
Roll to smooth playing surface
Blow off any debris and reset the pin position
Water in any remaining sand on the surface
Add a fresh cut to clean-up the playing surface
