Topdress Fairways

As you can see from this picture, we are continuing the practice of topdressing fairways with straight sand. The sand helps to smooth the playing surface. It also improves drainage, protects the turf from mower scalping and improves the soil profile. We either blow or broom the sand "into" the turf canopy.

We plan to finish sodding by tonight but might need to purchase a small quantity more next week to fix some construction wounds.
