Top dressing greens is beneficial to the turf for so many reasons, which is why every golf course in the world carries it out. Some of the benefits include;
1. Better drainage
2. Reduced disease susceptibility
3. Smother and faster ball roll
4. Firmer surfaces
Most golf clubs now apply light and frequent applications of sand which has a positive effect on the putting quality both in the long and short term.
Unfortunately golfers believe that the application of top dressing to the golf course has a negative effect on the putting quality
Trueness of the putting surfaces can now be measured and here is a quick video to show how we can measure the effect of top dressing on the greens surfaces. Perhaps, it is not as bad as people think?
