Greens Aeration

The crew is working hard on the greens aeration and looks like we will only have #7 and #8 to finish in the morning. The process this year was to deep tine with a 3/4 inch solid tine to a 9 inch dept at a 4inch by 4inch spacing followed by our Toro 648 with 5/8 hollow tine at a 2inch by 2inch spacing. The cores are then shoveled into the carts and hauled to the dump. We then apply our dry sand topdressing and work it into the holes using our brush and tow behind blower. Here are some pictures:
