Hopefully the grounds crew can get it looking better looking in the next couple of weeks, not sure what they can do though.

It's called overseed and that's completely normal for this time of year, except the greens would be dug up right now, too.

It will look just fine.

ETA: Every article about these pictures explains that as well. You were pretty lazy here.

It’s not nice to mess with Mother Nature

You should know by now that Augusta National would not host the tourney if they thought the course would not be ready. This is when the course is open to members. Closed in Summer. You think the club would be as prestigious as it is if the course was not pristine for its nembers?

You can see the grass all around 12 looks good so obviously they are doing something to the rest of it to not be green like that.

Do you know the date these were taken. Rye grass should be up now in northern Georgia so these may be a month or so old.

The lines in the fairway looks like Some heavy verticitting going on to me. That may be the day the rye was planted. They may even spray the Bermuda to help it go into dormancy. I would think they plant overseed in late September possible early October.

It’s called scalping the Bermuda grass and then over seeding with rye, fescue and bluegrass...the course will look incredible by middle of October.
