This afternoon, I observed a couple steps in general turf maintenance and a very important step to create perfect playing infield on a baseball field. Outside the stadium field and on some outfields, I learned about “hotspots” (dried out and unhealthy sod) and how to water them correctly to get it looking great in no time. Also, I learned about the grading process of an infield to prepare a field properly. Since the complex is about to host a major tournament, regrading the infield allows for a flatter and higher quality playing surfaces that will receive fresh dirt and turface before the teams come to play next week.
