As mentioned in our previous blog post, we dryjected South greens and approaches on April 3rd and 4th. This is a process that creates small holes in the green by injecting water at high pressures and filling the holes with sand. Benefits of this process include dilution of organic matter, increased infiltration rates, and increased firmness. Below are some pictures with a brief description.
