Yesterday morning our head greenkeeper repaired the petrol burn on the green before the grass died off completely. He mentioned that he noticed that some grass was growing through the dead strip, however he believed it best to be proactive and repair it rather than wait to see if it recovers fully.
The repair was made using a hand-held turf cutter and grass was taken from the outer edge of the green to replace the damaged strip. The damaged strip was then placed in the gap where the replacement strip was taken.
The repair strip was intentionally taken from an area at the back of the green and in a position close to a sprinkler head to ensure it gets enough water to assist recovery. It was also spiked, seeded and top dressed.
