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.
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.
