| Question: | "Based on the results of fairway topdressing at other courses in the area, the green committee has asked me to develop a budget for this program at our course. Does the USGA have information as to how much sand is needed on an annual basis to topdress 30 acres of fairway turf?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Illinois |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "In your location, a good figure to use for the budget is 1,800 tons of sand. When applied in six applications at a rate of 10 tons per acre, this is enough sand to accumulate a layer approximately one-half inch deep each year. Based on the results after your first year of topdressing, you can budget either more or less sand for subsequent years." |
