Greens have been veri-cut and top dressed with small pea-gravel….not good putting surface…..6/30….Why can't we use good smooth sand once in a while?

Are you sure about that?

I've been around the golf business for a long time and I've never heard of or seen such a thing.

It looks like the attached?

I played on 6/28 and the greens were pretty bad. The top dressing didn’t bother me as much as the botched verticut. I’ve never seen a verticut done that randomly lifted rows of turf the way it was that day. Perhaps they normally roll them after and just hadn’t gotten around to it?

Played yesterday, places in great shape
