Green Collars

We have begun removing sod from the collars on greens 10 - 14 in preparation to resod into bentgrass. This will give a much better playing surface that should be easier to putt off of.  We will also level out these areas to eliminate the rounded or high center of many collars.  Another goal is to eliminate the bad bounces off the edge of the collar where it meets the green, many times a chip will hit this area and bounce too far forward.  We will complete these greens this week and finish up the back 9 next week.  This spring we will resod the front nine collars.
