Mark, I have a dwarf green in Mesa AZ and also used sod and had some high spots. I found it helpful to topdress around the high spots and found that the scalping was caused in some cases more so by low spots were the mower would dip and cause scalping. Have you used ammonium sulfate yet? It will grow back fast, most important at this point to protect the crown of the plant with top dress.
