Sprigging trials...

You will notice some shaggy looking areas on #8,9,&14 fairways.
We are doing some planting trials on those fairways using the same variety of bermudagrass that was used on #5 approach.
The grass was planted in one direction and then crimped again in another direction. Then those spots were rolled the following day to ensure good soil contact. You will remember that the approach on #5 was sodded; for bigger areas it is more cost effective to sprig.
We will adjust our pre emerge programs and fertility schedule for these areas over the next few months. Play should not be affected and is actually encouraged in these spots. Cart traffic and foot traffic will help with the real world trial.
