Poa Annua Control: Here are just two items of a multiple approach program; Hand Weeding, Sulfur fertility plus Herbicide application.



Fairway Compaction Relief / Oxygen Infusion



Step one to improve the conditions of our fairways was the application of 1/4" of sand which we applied the week of April 19, now we are relieving compaction and giving oxygen a pathway to roots by solid tining and slicing the fairways with the Soil Reliever, Sliceavator and Planetair. Although the process is rather slow, it is very clean, effective and does not interfere with play. It will take the better part of three weeks to finish the job. Once the fairways, approaches and roll-offs are complete we will move onto the tees and surrounds of the greens.
