TOPDRESSING

Topdressing is a term we use for the product that we apply to our putting greens to firm up the surface and smooth out ball marks.  We started a new program at Deer Creek this season where we apply the sand topdressing once per week.  It has resulted in a very firm  and smooth surface.  We use USGA sand as our topdressing medium and done correctly you do not notice that we applied the topdressing minutes after it was applied.  It is a great example of the things we do behind the scenes that help make our greens awesome.
