Drill and Fill







The Greens are having a process called "Drill and Fill" starting today and finishing on Friday.
This process is basically a machine that drills holes using a .75 inch bit on 5 inch centers to a depth of 10 – 12 inches and fills the holes with sand.  The newer drill bits that are used today are much less disruptive than in the past and leave a better finished product. Actually most Clubs in the Metropolitan area do this annually to their Greens.  In combination with our routine cultural practices this process would help the Greens drain better, enhance root growth, and create a firmer playing surface.

 During the process the Green being worked on will have a temporary pin.

Thank-you for your patience!

Four inches of rain, all the bunkers washed out, branches all over, and a full field on a Saturday.
Thanks for your patience as we cleaned up the course this morning.
