Golf Course Update
There has been a lot going on out on the golf course recently The turf is thriving with the warm temperatures and course definition is getting moreandmoredialedinwitheverytimewemow,alongwithsomeincreasedfertilitytohelpwithplanthealthandcombattingfoottrafficandcart traffic. Inadditiontostayingontopofregularcoursemaintenance,thisisaverybusytimeofyearwithsomebigtimeeventsonthecalendarover thenextfewmonthsincludingCrownCupmid-June,andcourseaerificationweekattheendofJune,whichwillincludeDryjectthisyear
Dryject involves using specialized machines to inject kiln-dried sand into the greens using water pressure to blast the sand downward into the greenssoilprofile Doing this creates channels of sand, while disturbing the greens mix to disrupt and dilute layers, thatch, and other pollutants belowthesurface. DuringtheDryjectprocess,35tonsofsandwillbeinjectedintothegreens. EventhoughDryjectisconsideredanon-invasive process,wewillstillbumpupfertilityforafasterhealingtimeduringaerificationweek
The process for greens aerification this summer will be a lot different than it was last year. We will start the week before with extra nutrients and fertility to ramp up plant processes for speedy recovery after the aerification process is complete The plan is to pull as many small cores as we can to remove as much organic matter as we can, instead of pulling larger cores. This will make it easier on us, and speed the process of healing ten-fold. We will rely on the Dryject process to incorporate sand into the greens rather than trying to fill holes. This will also allow us to do other things,likepullcoresinfairways,insteadofthetime-consumingprocessofgettingsandintothegreens
Thatch is the layer just beneath the canopy that is made up of organic matter, stolons, and rhizomes Too much thatch can cause the greens to becomesoft,canpreventnutrientandwaterinfiltration,hindergasexchangeandrootgrowth,andpromoterootdiseaseiffungicidescan’treach the root zone. This is one of the reasons that we topdress on a regular basis. Both Dryject and aerification will benefit plant health drastically and allow us to manage things easier throughout the summer months Having them done at the same time is crucial to an easy aerification week, and easyhealingasquicklyaspossible
