Floating

Floating is what one does to smooth the surface of greens before seeding, and when the subgrade of the green is workable material. Because our greens are constructed upon a foundation of sand, these have been floated too.

Below: Tools of the trade. A bunker rake with a blade in the front, and a box. The box gathers sand by slicing off higher spots and then fills in lower spots.














Below: The 2nd green floated.
