Moss on the practice green


Moss invasion on the practice green. Vic, Greg, and Coach are shown here replacing the worst areas of the practice area green where moss has taken over. When the practice green was built, we didn't have any extra green sod to use. So we cut sod off the tee end of the 12th fairway, and over the next year lowered the height of cut to get down to green height. During that first year the green was very thin in places, and moss moved in and took over. We tried treating it with several iron and copper products over the past two winters, but the moss would get worse each summer. So we decided to fix it for good. Cut the sod off and replace it with turf from our nursery. In a month or so the sod will grow in and you won't notice the repaired areas. Nice work guys!
