| Tim topdressing |
We began our regular maintenance to greens today. We started by verticutting the greens, then blew them off, topdressed, dragged and watered them for 6 minutes. The final stage is to mow them. We have dropped the height down from .156 to .135 with the final height of the season to be .125. We will be at this height by May 1st. You should notice a big difference in how the greens are playing as we plan on topdressing every two weeks during the golfing season. The verticutting and topdressing improve ball roll and smoothness by standing the turf up and reducing the friction of the grass and the golf ball.

We will apply one more application of growth regulation, Primo/Proxy, to reduce the poa seed head. This application will be applied next week. We are about 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule from previous years for our general greens maintenance.
