Monday we completed the dry-ject aeration practice on all of the greens, injecting 21,000 pounds of sand into the soil profile. High-pressure water blasts an aeration hole in the root zone using a shattering action to relieve compaction. Dry sand is drawn into the hole by a patented vacum effect created by the water blast. In a fraction of a second, the root zone is aerated, sand fills the hole completely and the surface is ready for play.
I ask that all players keep out of the roped off areas of sod along the 9th hole. I spent over an hour each day repairing foot prints in the sod over the weekend. Please show some respect to the grounds staff and fellow members by following the posted signs.
