We can really see some new growth on all of the greens today. I have seen germination on all 22 greens and you can really tell where the seed has settled down in the voids left from dimpling and aerification. We are also seeing a lot of recovery from the original turf. We anticipate mowing the greens in about 2-3 weeks but this will be on a green to green basis and very weather dependent.
By the end of the week, we should see a nice green hue across the entirety of the greens. Our staff is putting up barriers on the sloped green surrounds to prevent against erosion damage. As soon as we can walk on the new grass, we will begin aggressively pushing the fertility to take advantage of this great growing weather. Until then, the pre-plant amendments that were applied will support the young turf.
