Its been sometime since my last post and I have a whole bunch of things to share.
As many of you know we closed the putting green for renovation on August 15. The putting green contained a large population of annual bluegrass, and due to its small size and heavy traffic it receives we decided to re grass it. We selected L-93 Bentgrass to replace the old Penncrosss/Poa blend. L-93 is what resides on our new greens and performs very well for us.
We used a granular soil fumigant to sterilize the soil, so our seedbed would be free of weed seed.
The following pictures show the steps we have taken during the conversion
