Greens Aeration Round 2


After a great a great Opening Day of golf this weekend we are doing the unthinkable, aerating the greens, again. Well its not unthinkable that our greens suffered severely last year to the point of serious turf loss during the major part of the playing season. This second round of aeration is needed to help prepare the greens for the summer months. We are building valuable roots and creating channels for water and oxygen to get to the roots for the rest of the summer. I know the greens will not putt great for the next two weeks but the long term health of the greens will greatly benefit from this second aeration. The night time temperatures look to be warming up and hopefully today was the last we will see of frost so the greens should fill in much quicker then the first aeration. Thank you for your patience as our long range agronomic plan creates healthy turf and acceptable playing surfaces.
