   Topdressing before is better than after. Reduces rutting. Also, keep them wet for the following week. Pull the cup and fill with sand. Roll and mow the same direction of the slits for about the first week.
   
   We did 10 acres of greens and 38 acres of fairways this year. That stuff is like crack.
   
   Attached is a picture of a fairway where the applicator lifted up over a head. Very dramatic results on the GN-1.

   Thanks for the heads up. I have done turf before, just not the greens. I heard from Dr. Bill ? from UF, that Curfew really passed the test on a test site in Avon Park on GN-1 and that it when they new that they had a great product, crack for GN-1 for sure! We are doing greens + 20 acres of turf tomorrow.

   Unless you like frequently spraying your fairways, I have never seen a product green up GN-1 like Curfew. Been doing it every year for four years now.
