Merion Golf Club

Designed by Hugh Wilson, Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania will be hosting the 2013 U.S. Open. Merion is the site where Bobby Jones captured the Grand Slam in 1930 and where Ben Hogan hit the now immortal one-iron to the 72nd hole of the 1950 U.S. Open, completing his comeback from a near fatal car wreck the previous year. Thanks to 2010 graduate Joey Flinchbaugh for the following pics.

DryJect allows you to:

• Aerate, amend and topdress in one pass, allowing a smooth surface that’s ready for play in an hour.
• Help new sod knit to the soil below by creating channels filled with amendment, allowing roots to penetrate deeper.
• Punch through sports turf, allowing better root proliferation.
• Combine soil modification with aeration for increased soil benefit.
• Apply up to 250% more material than traditional topdress applications.
• Adjust aeration spacing and depth (up to 8 inches).
• Inject amendments such as Profile™ Field & Fairway™ and Greens Grade™ directly into the soil.

Thanks to Brandon Hurtt for the Pics.
