With ever-rising costs, many golf clubs are looking at ways to reduce their maintenance budgets. Top dressing is a fundamental part of producing quality putting surfaces: it firms and smoothes the surface and by building up a layer of uniform, sand-dominated material, it maintains good drainage and air exchange, which helps prevent thatch accumulation. Regular application is advised, aiming to apply somewhere in the region of 6 x 20 tonne applications on an average 18-hole course, which represents asignificant cost. This article discusses the possibility of using straight sand, both for financial reasons (it is sometimes half of the cost of a traditional sand/soil mix), as well as to obtain the desirable quality and consistency desirable from yourtop dressing material.
