Greens Aerification


Due to last weeks heat, greens aerification was postponed, taking place this Monday. We slightly adjusted our process to be a little less invasive, making sure the greens would be healed on schedule. Instead of larger holes on a tighter spacing with a heavy topdressing, we decided to go with a double verticut, followed by smaller holes at a medium spacing. A fair amount of topdressing sand was applied to complete the process. The guys put in a long, hard day on Monday and the greens are looking great at this time. Although it is not what we had originally planned, I think our amended process just might be exactly what the greens need at this time. I appreciate everyone understanding our need to move this process back a week.
