Question:"In surfacing a green with topdressing we have difficulty in getting the green smooth. Thus when we cut the grass close we encounter small hills and hollows, or waves, in the surface, which do not permit of even cutting and which interfere with proper putting. What remedy can you suggest for this condition?"
Source of Question:Kansas
Answer/Response:"Our supposition is that the material you are using for topdressing is of too heavy a character. It should be sufficiently light in texture so that when it is swept with a bamboo pole or similar instrument it will filter down into the depressions on the green. In other words, it should be a light loam, not a heavy loam. One of the main objects in topdressing is to even up the inequalities in the surface, and if a heavy loam is used for the purpose the unevenness is more apt to be accentuated than to be reduced."
