Grass Practice Tees Open


This morning we opened the grass practice tees.  The weather has warmed up and is conducive to germinating seed and turf healing which is important since we have a busy range with limited teeing area.  If we open the grass tees too soon, they will not have a chance to recover properly.  Speaking of recovery, please click on the link below to view a video on the proper way to take divots on a practice tee.  This video was made by my friend and colleague Dan Meersman - Superintendent at the Philadelphia Cricket Club.

The practice divot approach should be mandatory viewing for all members. Very well done. Thanks.

Great video. I am going to change my divot pattern. This needs wide distribution.
