Roots?

The biggest difference between Golfers and Superintendents is we care more about what's going on in the soil and less what going on up top.  If you got the soil and roots right your problems are reduced on the turf.  I took this picture this morning of the root system of the upper putting green.  You will see the roots are OK but could use some help.  We  have started to use a new type of fertilizer to help push the root system while still feeding the turf as well.  The three long stands of roots are aerification holes.  If you ever thought the aerification process was crazy and unnecessary here shows you a huge advantage of it.  Kevin
