Barney rebuilt his practice green last fall. The new root mix is a California style, with high porosity and low CEC. To combat nutrient deficiencies in this first year, Barney routinely applied twice the urea to this rebuilt practice green compared to the other 18 greens. He did so by making twice as many passes on the green every time he fertilized (monthly). At his annual evaluation, the old-timers were pleased with his performance. However, a gang of young, competitive members (a.k.a The Skilz Playas) felt the practice green represented the golf course green speeds poorly. Barney defended himself, saying he mowed all the greens at the same height daily and that this variation was a figment of their imagination. When do you suspect The Skilz Playas mostly golf, morning or afternoon? Do you think the Skilz Playas found the practice green slower or faster than the golf course putting greens? What other methods could Barney use to ensure nutrient sufficiency in the new practice green, while keeping the N fertilization rates of all 19 greens equal
