Bermudagrass Fairway Update

We have sand topdressed most of the weaker areas of the Newport fairways.  This will allow the existing bermudagrass to fill in, much like it did last year.  That explains all of the white spots you are seeing.  It just speeds up the process of filling in the weaker areas.
In picture 2, we slit seeded some Sunsport Bermudagrass seed into the remaining portions of Newport fairways that are predominantly cool season grass.  These areas are shrinking daily.  While seeded bermudagrass is not 100% foolproof, if even a little bit of seed germinates, these areas will fill in quicker with bermudagrass, creating a better playing surface.
