Aerification

We started tee and approach aerification on Monday, completing through the eighth hole. The remainder of the front nine and all of the back nine should be wrapped up by this afternoon. Often despised, aerification is one of those processes that has definite long term benefits. Not only does it relieve compaction, it also reduces thatch and organic matter, while allowing for better water infiltration and percolation. We typically follow this process with a light seeding and a healthy dose of fertilizer to have them looking their best in no time.
