Traq Matz continued

We slowly continue the addition of more Traq Matz around the property. We have been please so far with our test at 17 tee and have selected a couple more locations.

In our March 4^th post, we noted that we had finished a Traq Matz installation at #2 tee  and were headed to #8 tee. The matting is now finished at #8 tee as well. Compared to the work at #17 tee, #8 tee was much easier. The area we were looking to cover with mats was a simpler shape and required much less trimming. Overall, the process went very smoothly- we finished it all in one day- and with the warmer temperatures we have had since then, the new sod has already started to grow through the openings in the mat very nicely.

#8 tee installation

After we finished our work at 8 we had a few extra rolls of matting leftover. Back when we initially did the work at 17 tee and found that it was working as well as we expected, we started a list of additional areas that could possibly benefit from the Traq Matz, like #2 and #8 tees. Further down the list, #12 tee was also included and we had enough to tackle that spot also. Though it is the smallest area that we have repaired to date, it is perennially one of the worst locations for traffic related decline of the turf, which made it a perfect candidate. With enough extra matting as well as just enough leftover sod, later in the same week, we were able to complete work at #12 tee also.

#8 tee

As we continue to see positive results, we will continue to knock other locations off our list. Slowly, we can improve many underperforming areas across the property.
