Topdressing Process

Every three weeks on a Monday morning we topdress the greens with sand.  I took some action shots for you to see this process. The finished product looks great and is ready for golf. 

1. First we mow the green
2. Second we spread the sand evenly with a topdresser

4. Fourth we use our vibratory rollers to vibrate and move the sand down
5. Finally we water the sand to work it into the turf even more
