Slice-Seeding Winter Damage

Due to the excessively long and cold winter our fairways and tees suffered some damage. The damage was mainly a result of ice developing earlier in the winter and persisting until very recently. In order to fix this we have begun to aggressively overseed the damaged areas. We used a technique known as "Slice-seeding" to maximize the effectiveness of our efforts. We use a large machine that will cut shallow slits into the ground and then drop seed into these slits. This process maximizes soil to seed contact, assuring that the seed has an ideal environment from which to grow.
