Greens Aerification Update

It looks like, for the first time in my career, that we are going to postpone our greens aerification until the following week. The weather forecast is calling for several days of excessive heat and the risk of lasting damage to the greens is too great. Our original plan was to go with 1/2" tines, tightly spaced, and a lot of sand. However, to have the greens healed on schedule, we will adjust our process by using smaller tines and less sand. Although this is not ideally what I would like to do, in the long run it will make little difference to the quality of the putting surfaces.
