The fairways were aerated on Monday by our contractor, Aer-Core with a tight spacing of 3x2 inches, the tightest spacing that we have done on the fairways, with very minimal issues during the process. The bulk of the aeration has now been completed, the newly sodded areas will have to be aerated once they have been established sometime in the beginning of May. The greens are healing nicely after 7 days and this afternoon's rain will aid in that recovery. The schedule for the greens is mow again Wednesday afternoon with our sand mowers, roll Thursday afternoon, and mow Friday afternoon with our Flex 21 mowers. The crew will begin working weekends starting this week getting started with our normal routines of maintenance.
The sod on the 9th hole project is starting to root and I have just been notified that the remaining bunker sand and cart path material will be delivered and the final repairs made at the end of the week. The new fairway expansion was rolled yesterday and will be mowed for the first time at the end of the week. I want to thank the membership for staying off the sod and understanding the weather delays that we have been dealing with in regards to the project.
