Putting Green Tree Root Pruning

The photos below illustrate the roots present and encroaching into the Practice Putting green.  With the removal of the Sycamores, additional severing of the roots via root pruning, and stump grinding complete, the undersized putting surface will be better capable of handling the high volumes of traffic.  The turfgrass will now have adequate sunlight, air movement, and lack of root competition for water and nutrients.  By eliminating these compounding stresses and correcting the irrigation layout, the Bentgrass will sustain density and discourage poa annua establishment.
