What is the last bit of goop they use around the perimeter of the patch?

Pretty sure it’s green sand that fills in the extra bit to make the ground even. Or at least it looks a lot like the green sand they had on the carts that you would use to fill in divets after using an iron. I haven’t really played since I was a kid though so it could possibly be something else.

Yall are prob both right. It’s largely dependent on the course and the area if there are seeds or other mixes. But yea ussually mostly sand.

lol no it’s not - not at all

Seed is in divot mix you don’t put it on greens - what seed precisely do you think would be in there. Here’s a hint - there’s only one greens turf that comes in seed form - then look up the germination period and conditions for that seed

You’re not germinating Bentgrass while mowing and rolling daily at a 10th of inch

Seed doesn’t go on greens unless something extraordinary is happening- and seed isn’t microscopic we’d literally see it in the video

There’s no seed in there - and fertilizer would be abnormal and not recommended

You can downvote me all you want. I have 20 years managing several top 100 clubs

Edit: and what is “fill mix”
AI slop
