Spring Aeration Update Part 2

Greens aeration went very well despite the little bit of rainfall the night before we started the greens. The rain after the greens were aerated was very helpful.

Fairway aeration is under way and we are moving along very well due to the warm and windy weather. We may even be able to finish by the end of this week!

Spring Aeration Update

I finally figured out how to make it rain. All I had to do was schedule a greens aeration. Even though we received a few sprinkles yesterday morning, we were still able to aerate 13 greens. However, due to the moisture, we did not topdress yesterday. We will finish aerating the remaining greens today and do our best to get all of the greens topdressed today as well. So, today we will have 18 temporary greens. Hopefully, we will have all 18 greens opened tomorrow morning. As always, thank you for your patience during this very important and beneficial process.
