Establishment of the sprigs has progressed well despite some challenges from some heavy rain and thunderstorms. Today, the first mowing on the greens was completed. We will continue to lower heights and intensify maintenance practices to create a top quality playing surface.
Even though the greens will soon look fully established, great caution must be taken with respect to mowing heights and green speed until they are fully mature. This will take at least one more growing season to ensure that the turf has a base strong enough to handle the added stress that low heights provide.
