With the never-ending pounding that the practice tee receives, the decision was made to increase the Bermudagrass area on the back of the upper tee. As we've seen in the past, when we get into the dog days of summer, and the cool-season turf is struggling, the Bermuda is loving life and recovering amazingly quickly.
This past Monday, we stripped the old sod, removed it, aerified the area several times, and installed the new Bermudagrass sod. With a good number of new team members on staff this year, we had to be sure everyone was trained to lay the sod green side up 😉.
Just five days after installing the sod, it is already knitting to the soil beneath, with beautiful white roots growing like crazy.
As with all types of turfgrass, breeders are continually working to develop improved varieties of Bermudagrass. Cold weather tolerance, early green-up, and rapid recovery are among the desired attributes which this turf possesses.
