USGA recomendation

 After speaking with USGA Agronomist, Pat O'Brien, he said:

3,000 to 4,000 pounds per 1,000 square feet is my recommendation.

Here is the link to the article that I wrote on this topic. (Click above)
 
Again, at HCC, we incorporate 5,000lbs per 1000ft2.  To allow you to picture this, if you put down 5,000 lbs. of sand per 1,000ft2 on the surface of one of our greens all at one time, it would amount to 1.2 inches of sand!  While that may not sound like a lot, consider the fact that when we aerify, we only disturb 7-8% of the entire surface.
