Yesterday we finally managed to apply some sand topdressing to the greens. We have been delayed around 2-3 weeks due to the weather. Adam and myself applied the dressing and Will matted it in once it had dried. We applied around 750kg of sand to each green which is slightly more than we would at this time of year but we wanted to smooth out the surfaces following the wet weather. Rich Malthouse groomed the greens prior to application to remove lateral growth.
