We treat the greens at OCGC twice a month with a soil surfactant. This helps lessen the surface tension of water applied and allows it to penetrate the sandy soil rather than bead up and run off. It helps keep the greens firm. Sometimes chronic areas dry out and this is known as a localized dry spot. We hand treat those areas with a water retaining agent to retain moisture and turf health, especially on the windswept sand greens of Newport. Today our applicatior was a little generous with the indicator dye. This requires only 16 ounces of material to treat Newport. We will see improvement over time of these areas.
