Question: | "Our zoysia fairways often become soggier as the winter wears on. Carts are restricted to paths more often, and as we play from less-desirable lies, handicaps rise steadily. Would overseeding with perennial ryegrass in the winter be a good idea for us?" |
Source of Question: | North Carolina |
Answer/Response: | "Organic matter development with zoysia causes these sites to retain water. This grass can act almost like a sponge, especially at sites with clay soils that don't drain well. Overseeding with perennial ryegrass does not relieve these symptoms, and it could make the problem worse. The best solution is to add drainage to the fairways, which addresses both surface water runoff and water soil seepage issues. Drainage experts are available to outline the planning, materials, time line, and costs of these projects. This planning stage is critical for success." |
