Dusting greens

This morning we lightly topdressed, or dusted, the greens. The goal behind using these light and frequent dustings is to firm up the putting surface which will in turn reduce the severity of ball marks and aid in ball roll by providing a truer surface. We will be doing this a lot more frequently as the weather warms up. The process has minimal disruption and in most cases by the next day you can't even tell we topdressed. The first picture is the machine we use applying the sand and the second is a picture of the green after being dusted.
