Why is my Longs backyard green slower than a green closer to the beach?
Because Longs sits inland under heavier pine cover than almost anywhere else on the Strand, and the straw and pollen falling onto Colonial Charters, Long Bay and Aberdeen greens all winter pack into the sand faster and in greater volume than a more exposed, coastal lot. TIMELESS Turf Restoration clears the green, top-dresses with fresh sand, brushes it in and rolls the surface, then checks speed.
Three golf communities, one shared problem
Colonial Charters (Willard Byrd course), Long Bay (Jack Nicklaus) and Aberdeen (Tom Jackson, backing the Waccamaw preserve) all draw people who want a green in the backyard, needing the same firm sand a club green gets.
The heaviest pollen and straw load on the coast
The restoration
- Clear. Green and fringe.
- Top-dress. Sand to depth.
- Roll. Check the ball's roll.
Weekly blowing keeps a Longs green from collecting that load again.
