In this case, I won't be choosing Organic!

Last fall we removed 55 tons of highly organic debris from the greens via the "Graden" process.  This photograph illustrates the lighter color of the desired greens mix (left) vs. the darker highly organic debris (right) that has plagued the greens.  This organic matter holds excess moisture, limits rooting, invites Poa annua, causes excess ball marks, bumpiness, and disease among other problems.  This "Graden" process will allow for continuous improvement of our putting surfaces.
