Overseeding Clubhouse and Entrance grounds

For the last few years we have overseeded the areas around the clubhouse with ryegrass.  The look from this practice is defiantly eye catching.  We are able to overseed these areas because they are subject to virtually no traffic throughout the year and not used for golf play.  Below are a few photos of the process through the first mowing.


Verticutting to create slits for seed to make contact with soil


After verticutting a lot of material is left on top of the turf


Blowing that material off by with backpack blowers


Spreading ryegrass seed after material/mess has been cleaned away


Seed has started to germinate 8 days later
