The two main challenges with maintaining the back edges #7 Blue Green are shade and traffic pattern. Morning sunlight if critical for sustained turf vigor and quite frankly we were allowed to remove as many trees as needed during the CRI project. The traffic wear is a result of the exit point from the back of the green to the cart path. Repairs were made utilizing our turf nursery and a hex plugging tool. Hex plugs allow us to repair the area completely by puzzling the pieces together without gaps. Although more labor intensive to install, plugs perform better than sod during this time of year due their increased root mass. In a few weeks these plugs will blend in with the rest of the
putting surface.
