Aeration

The greens were aerated yesterday and were completed before the rain started. We used a slightly smaller tine this spring, due to the cold spring start, the greens would not have been able to handle the larger tine. I added an extra step this season with an aggressive verticut before we aerated. This additional process is possible due to the purchase of the new tri-flex mower late last fall. The greens are open but are very sandy and bumpy and extremely soft from the near one inch of rain we received. We will continue to brush and roll during the afternoons this week with the first mowing being Friday.

The construction company will be here tomorrow to fix the irrigation break in the bunker and begin prepping for sod. Our goal is to lay sod on Friday.
