Painting Turfgrass

On Monday, December 1st, we painted the Driving Range Tee (DRT) for the first time this winter. There will be a 2nd application in 8-10 weeks. The club made the decision skip over-seeding the DRT this will provide optimum growing conditions for the DRT heading into next years golf season. In lieu of over-seeding, we are testing out paints to see how they look and hold up to traffic. So far, I am impressed with the color!  We have a few other paints to test and will finish the range by early next week.  

 Below are some photos we took on Monday.

This picture is from the Putting Green. The light colored area in the center of the picture is a check plot, this is what the greens would look like if we didn't use pigments/colorants.
