TOPDRESSING
After final turf protectants are applied to the greens turf, a sand layer is applied to the surface. This further bit of protection, in addition to the placement of a permeable turf cover, safeguards the turf from the harshness of winter. Here we are covering #17 green and below is the finished product on #6 green. Note the permeable cover in the foreground in place ready to be laid on the green. This process, including equipment travel time takes 1 staff member 16 manhours to topdress 19 greens.
