We often speak about leaving untreated check plots on the golf course, in order to verify if a plant protectant application or cultural practice was truly effective. There are many reasons why turf may perform well or not, so it's impossible to make accurate conclusions if all areas are treated exactly the same.
As you may recall, last winter we left a couple of uncovered check plots on #2 and #10 to see how they healed from aerification in relation to the greens that were covered.

With the greens remaining uncovered this winter, we are doing the exact opposite, and have tarped sections of #9 and #17 green. Once again, this will allow us to compare turf recovery side by side and evaluate the impact of using covers (or not).

Of course, all of the greens are covered at the moment...
