#1 Green Live Oak

Update on #1 green at Live Oak. We have been getting some questions about #1 green and thin areas mainly on the back and left side of the green.  This mainly is a Shade issue- Bermuda grass especially mowed at low heights needs to have sunlight and minimal shade to grow and be healthy.  This area unfortunately is in the shade until about 10:00 now and even longer in the winter months. We will continue to hand spike, topdress, and apply granular fertilizer weekly to keep it filling in.  We are still needing warmer combined temperatures to really see the improvement. Our upcoming aerification May 1- May 3 will also aid in recovery. The sand and the spiking is being done to reduce the algae formation on the surface.  Thank you and we enjoy seeing everyone out and playing our courses.
