It was a pretty basic suite of changes. Being more concerned about bentgrass, we were using PGRs that can be harder on seedlings and we were growing very much grass.
We changed our PGR approach, now only using T/E and we grow enough grass to get good healing. The tees do have some Poa in them, definitely more than the course fairways, but it's an acceptable amount. When and if they get too much, we'll think about a herbicide, or even just redo them, which is something we have done to both of these tees recently.
Quite a difference! What changes were made to achieve such a drastic change?
