Aerification

And the good news is......Greens have all been aerated and topdressed and are healing. With good weather, we expect the aeration do heal within a week or so.

Greens were aerated using two different methods. (Conventional aeration and sand injection) The third scheduled process, the deep tine operation, was canceled due to high moisture levels in the soil due to rainfall (3.92") generated by Hanna last weekend. We had fear this equipment could cause greens surface damage for an extended period this fall.

Next, we will begin to aerate tees and fairways. We expect to begin early next week and will work into October to complete fairways.

Our apologies for the inconvenience of aeration, but these processes begins to prepare the turf for success next summer.
