Bent populations

#6 3/29/2012

One more picture of #6 on 3/29/2012.

You can see the drastic difference from the Bentgrass populations versus the Poa. Hard to believe that we have progressed this far and its still March. Looking at the picture below from last year really shows just how much recovery has taken place. This is one case of turning lemons into lemonade.  Bent is the far superior species and the ultimate goal at Richter.

What a difference a Year Makes....

What a difference a year makes. Above you will see a picture of hole #6 taken on March 30th of last year.  Mother Nature seemed to be in a much better mood this winter as we pretty much had no winter to speak of.  Everything is setting up for a great year and other than a few patches that need to fill in we are weeks ahead of schedule both in play levels and turf conditions.
