Do they put down any sand when overseeding? I wonder how you can play on greens that are over seeded? Won't the golfers stomp those poor baby seedlings?
During the initial period of overseeding the course is shut down for several days and then for several more days you are restricted to the cart paths and the rough in your cart. Watering is heavy during this process which als slows the course down.

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
