We are trying a new approach on the walking trail behind the first green this year. This area has worn out every year due to the heavy foot traffic it receives. In the past, we have regrassed this area with different types of turf and changed our management practices but it has still failed. This year we stripped the old, damaged turf, tilled in topsoil and organic fertilizer, and resodded the area with T-10 bermuda grass. This turf is a very aggressive, traffic tolerant grass and we have utilized it in some areas like to the right of #10 and #14 cartpaths. We then laid a product over the T-10 called the Grass Protecta. This is a woven rubber material that helps protect the grass from the heavy traffic it receives. The grass will then grow up through this rubber material and should be very aesthetically pleasing as well as very healthy and safe. Please be careful walking up and down this trail until the grass grows over.
