We have made the decision to overseed the fairways and tees this fall. This will be the first year we have overseeded any areas on the course. We put 250 pounds per acre of perennial ryegrass on fairway cut, and 200 pounds per acre of turf-type annual ryegrass on our tees. We watered 3-4 times a day for the first 5 days. After the rye had germinated we cut the water to twice daily for the next 5 days. We now water once a day. Our first cut was 10 day after seeding. Next week we will fertilize to help establish the rye before the cold temperatures set in.
