Today, we began the process of topdressing the fairways with straight sand. The sand is added to make the fairways more firm, make them drain faster and reduce the thatch layer. Once the sand is applied, we broom all the sand into the grass canopy. We have been doing this three time a season for over five years. The process takes us between 3-5 days.
Today marks the beginning of mobilization of equipment on # 8 for the upcoming restoration. Our golf course contractor is Total Turf and with golf course architect Brian Schneider from Renaissance Golf, they will be teaming up to open a new chapter in Llanerch's storied history.
