Firming up the approach

Approaches to the green are an important component to golf. Proper management of these areas allow for creativity when making an approach shot to the green. I like firm approaches that allow the player to bump a shot up onto the green, or even putt a ball if they desire. Spongy, soft approaches that demand the player fly the ball to the green are no fun.
Last week we verticut the approaches on the blue and the red, and topdressed them with a layer of sand. We will continue to work these areas through the fall and hopefully you notice the improvement in their playability,
