Venting/Spraying

Last night we received .35 inches of rain which left the greens very soft so I was able to vent #2,5,6, and 8, which are our most pocketed greens to help get some oxygen down to the roots. I also applied our plant protectants to greens, tees, and fairways. Next Monday all of the greens will be vented. As soon as we get some cooler weather I will be aerating the collars and seeding with Bentgrass as well as applying a granular fertilizer to the collars. The aeration will be shallow, just enough to give a spot for the Bentgrass seed to germinate and grow while the fertilizer will strengthen the remaining plants to help with all the wear that we are experiencing.
