2)Mow greens
3) Topdress each green with approximately 4,000 lbs of dried sand
4) Aerate greens with a .35" solid tine
5) Sweep sand with a tow behind greens brush
6) Brush sand across green 3 times with shop brooms
7) Blow sand with tow behind blower
8) Roll greens to eliminate tire tracks from equipment
9) Fertilize greens with 3 different fertilizers
10 Water fertilizer and sand into green profile
The greens will not be mowed for 1-2 days after aeration to let the grass grow through the topdressing sand. Rollers will be used to smooth the putting surfaces on Wednesday / Thursday.
The aeration holes should be healed over and the greens putting smooth again within 4-6 days.
