Why are these greens slow and spongy?
I love when #turftwitter steps up. Just like all other social media you get some fun. But the golf course superintendent community steps up and helps.
Greg Brandriet asks on Twitter.
Q: Why are these greens slow and spongy?
Jason Barrington @BarringtonJason – HOC, too thick/too much grass, not topdressing frequent enough, are you watering too much, are you using a growth regulator, how much are they growing in a day. This is where I would start.
Greg Brandriet @SuperGregB – I just inherited these greens. All of these questions were asked
Jason Barrington @BarringtonJason – What type of grass are on the greens?
Cory Brown @Brown_Golf – I’d be curious to know how old this green is?
Josh Irish @Ndjish – The solution to pollution is dilution
Danny Rich @dlrich17 – They look comfortable
Bryan Tipton, CGCS @TiptonCGCS – But don’t do aerification! Lol
Matthew James @Matthew198James – Inert sandy original profile that produces high levels of thatch?
Tom @2LDgP1FSZP3L9hO – Because it’s mowed at 1/4 “
Dinger @GDingr – That’s a beautiful tee surface!
sean doherty @theseandoherty – Is that small traces of iron oxidation in the soil?
Jason Barndt @BarndtJason – The type of wetting agent applied may have something to do with it.
Chris Carpenter @carpeedo – Hoc
