Monday

 
 
As we do every 14 days, greens are being 'spiked' and topdressed today.  The goal of the sand is to dilute organic matter that naturally accumulates under the greens.  Spiking creates tiny pockets for that sand to settle with minimal damage to our mowers.  We will end the day with a application of Gypsum for additional Calicum.  Finally, at 2am tomorrow morning, greens will be watered for 20 mins.  This creates a flushing action that purges any salts in the system and then creates a vacuum that pulls that cool mountain night air into the soil profile.
