Today Fairway topdressing will continue and Greens will be fertilized with an Ammonium Sulphate based product. The product temporarily acidifies the pH in the soil helping suppress the activity of summer patch. We will also be slit seeding the approaches on 13, 16 and 17 fairway with Tyee creeping bentgrass before they are topdressed. Sod work will also continue on 6 approach, 14 and 17 tees.
