Top Dressing Fairways

Today we started top dressing fairways. This is a practice we began four years ago and has helped tremendously. Fieldstone is very rocky with poor soil quality, especially in the fairways where there was a lack of good top soil. In brief, adding sand has helped reduce compaction, allowed for better water infiltration and improved turf quality tremendously.
