Flintrock Putting Greens Update

Pictured above is #17 green at Flintrock.  This is our weakest green coming out of dormancy this spring.  We are seeing alot of new growth on all greens.  Over the next 30 days you will see dramatic improvements in our putting surfaces. 

The weather over the last 6 months has received much talk.  Sunny and warm temperatures will accelerate the recovery.  Cold, cloudy, and rainy will slow the recovery process down.  Bermudagrass loves sunny warm weather!

     

Above is a picture of Steve "venting" #1 green at Flintrock.  The machine is poking very small holes in the green.  These holes will allow for air exchange, aid in drainage, and stimulate new growth.  This machine along with aggressive fertilization will make for a speedy recovery of Flintrock greens.
