Fairway Fertilization

Today we completed the fertilization of the fairways.  This is an important step in preparing the course for next year and in the short term it will help with recovery after the fairways are aerified in a few weeks. 
Fairway fertilization completed by Harrell's spreader truck.

The mini size granules are almost invisible.

The fertilizer is watered in to help release the product and provide safety to the turf.
The work is contracted out to Harrell's as they can spread the product over the 26 acres in about 2 hours which allows me to water the product in with the irrigation system before member play begins.
