Aerification Scheduled for Monday June 6th
As you all know aerification was postponed due to the wet weather. Since we are so far into the golf season a less invasive process will begin to the greens on Monday. This process WILL NOT remove any thatch, but rather relieve surface compaction and increase air exchange through the soil. This season we will be topdressing the greens with sand to dilute the organic matter levels and firm the putting surfaces more frequently. Here's a video of the process we will be performing on Monday. The greens will be firmer, faster and roll truer after this process because of the rolling and the addition of the sand to the profile of the greens. Please don't be scared off by the word aerification next week. The weather looks great!!
