The greens and collars were first vented this morning using our Toro 648 aerator followed by the Dry-Ject process. The Dry-Ject injected 10 tons of sand into the greens with very little waste. The greens were then brushed and rolled followed by a heavy seeding of 007 and Crystal Blue Links bentgrass seed. The Dry-Ject has left some mud on the green surface in a few areas which will be mowed off over the next few days. The green areas that have been struggling were additionally spiked by hand and seeded extra heavy to gain some germination with the good weather. The greens will be rolled daily the rest of the week to smooth out the Dry-Ject holes and we should be in good shape by the weekend. Two ropes will placed out on the 5th and 6th greens to divert golfer traffic entering and exiting the green. These areas are continuing to decline due to constant foot traffic so please obey the ropes.
