Driving Range Putting Green

Many who've played Winchester recently have probably noticed that the driving range putting green has suffered a bit of a setback. Due to an electrical malfunction with the irrigation in this area, a portion of the green didn't receive water for a prolonged period of time and we've had some turf loss as a result.

However, the irrigation issue has been addressed and the green is on it's way back to recovery. This past Tuesday we verticut to remove the dried out turf, needletined to create holes for bentgrass seed, overseeded and lightly topdressed the damaged area. With daily light irrigation and with our golfers help in avoiding trafficking this portion of the green, we hope to see significant regrowth within the next few weeks.

We've made great strides at correcting and improving irrigation issues throughout the course this year, and work will continue to ensure that mishaps such as this don't become a recurring event.
