Dry Jet Technology

[Tim Martin]

How long does it take greens to recover to reasonable playability that have been exposed to Dry Jet Technology? Thanks.

[Ed Brzezowski]

Ours took about a week , the only issue I saw were the edges of some holes collapsing during play.

All in all we are very happy with the results .  Glad we did he work.

With in the week.  When I had the money in the budget to use the DryJect I would pull a 1/4" quad tine core the day before the Dryject machines arrived.  This allowed the DryJect to push the sand into the profile then when dry there are some open holes to brush the sand left on the surface into.  Worked well for me.

How did you take delivery of the sand? 50 lb bags, 1 ton bulk bags or did you have kiln dried delivered and cover it.  We are trying a couple pracice greens next week in hopes of doing the course at a later date. Have thought about the 1/4 hollow quad tine prior. Glad to hear that worked well. Any tru-firm data to support the firmness claim?

We always did the greens at Colonial twice a year-spring and fall and followed the following week with a core aerification. I think that it is important to know that this is NOT a replacement for core aerfication, just a tool to open of air circulation and get more sand into the soil profile. I know a lot of Supts that use 50#, kiln dried bags of sand ($$$$), but we used bulk, dried sand brought the morning of. ($$) As long as the sand is dry, because once it is wet, the process is done. TPC Sawgrass did it this week. The included link will take you to some photos. I have also attached a video of a company that does it here in FL.
