During this time of year, it is often a challenge to keep turf alive. However, the Bermudagrass on the practice tee is the lone exception to this. The area which was sodded last month has already been rolled, core aerified and topdressed during the summer heat, and what does it need? More of the same.
When this sod arrived, it was by far the thickest, heaviest rolls we have ever dealt with, and has a surprising amount of thatch. While it is now being mown at the same height as the rest of the tee, it still has a spongy feel to it, so we will continue to whip it into shape with some additional harsh, mid-summer treatment. This would be the one time that taking a bunch of divots will lead to a better surface.
