The big day has arrived. Our goal every year is to sprig all the putting surfaces on the same day to make the grow in seamless and smooth. TDI has done a tremendous job getting all the green complexes shaped and ready for green sprigging this year and today the team from Modern Turf arrived to plant the greens. Once the TDI team completed their final prep work of the putting surfaces after a visit from Billy Fuller yesterday, the Callawassie Agronomy Team completed our pre-plant fertilization to the greens before the team from Modern Turf hand planted the Mini-verde sprigs. As you can see, it takes a small army and lots of planning to get this accomplished and everyone involved made it look easy. Below are step by step photos of the planting process.
