We are trying to get the entire golf course mowed this morning before the rains begin. The golf course is still very wet and the forecast is calling for another 1 to 2 inches. This time of year with the cooler temperatures, shorter days, and lower sun angle the course stay wet much longer then in the summer months.
We will be aerating the greens on Monday using both a contractor to deep tine the greens and our own equipment for traditional core aeration. We will not be able to finish all the greens on Monday so there will be a few holes closed on Tuesday as we finish the clean-up and topdressing. I know how much golfers hate aeration but it is a very important process especially after the year we have had losing so much turf. Once we complete the aeration and topdressing of greens they will receive an application of fertilizer as well as be over seeded with bentgrass.
We will continue aerating other areas of the golf course, tees, approaches, and fairways, once the greens have been completed.
