SEAN'S CORNER
Golf Course Overseeding News

In this months Veranda, there is an article in "Inside the Grass" that is a must read as it announces the decision to skip overseeding fairways on Ocean Winds this fall.

Some of the things that you must know about the overseeding decision follow:

Not overseeding provides:
- Improved health and quality of the dominant stand of bermudagrass
- A substantial decrease in weeds, especially Poa Annua
- Elimination of transition problems from bermudagrass to rye and back to bermudagrass again in the spring
- Less disruption of play and poor playing conditions during seed establishment
- Less water and chemical, and fertilizer use on the course
- Quicker green up in the spring and early summer of the bermudagrass

The disadvantages to not overseeding are:
- Poorer quality turf conditions in late winter and early spring compared to overseeded turf
- More wear of the dormant turf due to cart traffic
- Less consistency in the turf canopy
- More Cart Path Only pressure due to less ability to soak up rains


The practice of non overseeding is a favored practice in the turf industry, promoted by the USGA and the educational industry in general. We will still overseed Crooked Oaks as normal, tees, greens and fairways, so the opportunity to play on overseeded fairways will still be available.
