| Question: | "We shall have this fall sufficient sod propagated from bent stolons sown last year to rebuild six of our greens. Ordinarily, of course, if we were going to rebuild these greens with bent stolons, we would plant the stolons about September 1. Our chief purpose in using sod instead of stolons in returfing our greens is to interfere with play as little as possible. Would it be too late to sod these greens about the middle of October? We rather suspect that on account of September in this part of the country being generally a pretty hot month, and in some seasons unusually dry, we would get as good, if not better, results if we wait until the latter part of October to do this work." |

| Answer/Response: | "In our opinion you should get satisfactory results from sodding your greens during the first half of October. We would suggest, however, that you cut the sod thin, not over 1 inch thick, as it has been our experience that sod of this thickness takes root in the soil beneath quicker than sod cut thicker. See that the sod gets plenty of moisture after it is laid on the greens. Sodding can be done with creeping bent turf any time in the fall until frost." |
