Question: | "Should every green on a golf course receive the same light topdressing program?" |
Source of Question: | Washington |
Answer/Response: | "Although light topdressing can be very beneficial, greens in heavy shade do not produce the same abount of organic material as those in full sun. If all your greens are lightly topdressed equally, this can result in "explosions" of ball marks that are virtually unfixable and very firm surfaces during the summer months on shaded greens. Superintendents who have slightly reduced their topdressing amounts on shaded greens have had very good results by allowing more organic material to accumulate near the surface, resulting in ball marks that are more easily repaired and greens that react like those in full sun." |
