Over the next few weeks, I’ll be doing shorter posts that focus on one specific topic. Hopefully they will be educational and\/or useful for you.<\/p>\n

First topic is the where you usually start your round, on the range tee.<\/p>\n

In October of 2022 we re-leveled and re-sodded the tee. Being that the sod is young, has yet to develop a strong root and rhizome system, it is vulnerable to a slow recovery. Being that we have a smaller than normal tee for the amount of use it gets, there is one major contribution you can do that will have the biggest impact in that recovery.<\/p>\n

Physiologically, the turf on the tee will re-grow laterally to recover. We do seed the divots, and level them with a sand\/soil mix, but that seed takes 2 weeks to germinate, and in a summer we’re having, very little to none of that seed is surviving. If you think about giving the turf the fastest route to recover, taking a large patch of divots will result in the turf having to grow across that patch, which will takes weeks, if not a full month. By the end of the season, we won’t have much quality turf remaining.<\/p>\n

Taking divots in strips will dramatically reduce the grass you take, as well as shortens recovery time. Below is 8 shots taken in a scattered pattern:<\/p>\n

Try the linear pattern while on the range, and help us provide you with the best practice experience possible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
