We stripped the old surface off of #5 green and removed the poa annua infested sod.
We keep the sod cutter level the same to insure that we are installing the same depth as the original green. We also use a 2 x 4 screwed to a broom handle to keep the sod seams as tight as possible.
The A-4 bent grass nursery takes a year to grow in and we will be able to continue resurfacing a different green every year.
The A-4 bent grass nursery is stripped and installed at #5 green.
This is what #5 green looks like after the resurface. We will sand all of the seams as much as possible to get the green playable. As soon as the sod cutters are cutting warm season turf, we will install two strips of zoysia around the green to create a buffer to catch any loose poa seeds. Once we start mowing #5 green, we will have a dedicated mower to again help keep poa from spreading to this green.
