TURF MANAGEMENT
“
“ I am very proud to say I have zero moss on the green at the moment thanks to the OAS plan , in fact – as a player myself travelling round and visiting lots of other greens – I ’ d say ours is looking and playing incredibly well .”
R9 is a fast-establishing , 100 % ultrafine perennial ryegrass blend of four dwarf PRG cultivars – hard wearing , with fineness of leaf , high shoot density and a tolerance for close mowing making it ideal for fine turf applications . “ I apply R9 to the heads , oversown into core holes and then dressed which gives us outstanding establishment and germination . The initial burst of growth shoots up like a forest of fir trees and is brilliant for filling in any bare areas . Longer term , it stands up well to the wear .”
“ Andy also plans out our summer and winter-feeding programmes , in particular working with me to keep on top of moss which is a big issue for a lot of greens and saps the run out of the bowl .” He concludes , “ I am very proud to say I have zero moss on the green at the moment thanks to the OAS plan , in fact – as a player myself travelling round and visiting lots of other greens – I ’ d say ours is looking and playing incredibly well .”
