Compost trial on tees

Anyone who has played the last few days has seen a couple of tees with some black organic material laying on top.  We are doing a trial with some compost on the right half of the 2nd tee, the left 1/2 of the 8th tee and the front left section of the short range tee.  It worked it pretty well on the 2nd tee and driving range but will have to poke some holes in the 8th tee to get the rest of the material into the soil so the tee is playable.  We will be checking this product for overall turf health and improvement to the teeing surface.  I do not necessarily see this as a product that we will use on every tee but on areas to reduce potential applications of fungicide such as in #2 or overall soil health #8 which is very difficult to keep it soft enough without flooding it to get a peg into the ground. The range tee we are treating to see if we get quicker divot recovery.  There was some slight damage to the tee below from a little too much material but it should recover.  I will post in the next couple of days some updates pictures on the work.

We used our top dresser to spread about 900 #'s of compost in two rows on the right half of #2 tee.  We will manage the 1/2 near the cart path with regular fertilizer/fungicide treatments as needed and will manage the metro link side without any treatments except the compost.  It was then brushed into the canopy of the turf.
