#2 Jones Tee, #3 Jones Tee and #17 Jones Tee are perennial challenges for us at HCC. The lack of sunlight, excess moisture and a lot of play create a challenge to keep turf on these 3 specific tees. I decided to try something different this fall. We are aerifying these tees with 1/4" tines at a fairly close hole spacing. I am going to introduce some Poa trivialis (Rough Bluegrass) into the tees. Poa triv is a grass that thrives in wet areas and also does well in shade. It is often used to overseed Bermudagrass putting greens in the deep south. I think is worth a shot in this case. Worse case scenario is we resod the tees as we plan to do anyway.
