Now you are ready
to infill the putting green.
It is important to
understand that the putting green and infill must stay dry during this
filling process.
If the infill or
putting green get wet the infill will clumps together, thus not allowing
the infill to get between the fibers of the putting green and be properly
filled. Fill the drop spreader 1/2 full with the infill and spread it
across the top of the green.
The weight of the
infill will flatten any small bubbles you may have on your green. Do not
apply too much infill at any one time without first brushing the infill
into the fibers.
For example, a good
basic guideline is to use 50 pounds of infill over an entire 12 X 30 green
between brushings.
Too much infill and
not enough brushing will result to buried fibers and will affect the
performance and true ball roll of your putting green.
Always brush against
the grain during the infilling procedure.
You must
aggressively brush between all infill spreading.
Once the green is
half full then you can brush the putting green using consistent force.
This infilling
procedure must be repeated until you have filled the green completely
full, past the tips of the fibers and you are walking on the infill.
By over-filling the green, you are ensuring a consistent level of infill
across the entire putting green surface. |
