Aerification Day Two
Sunday afternoon we aerated eight greens and picked up cores on three of those eight. Monday we aerated the other twelve greens, picked up cores on all those greens but one. We applied sand and brushed eighteen out of twenty greens. What a great crew we have. Makes all the difference. Today we hope to open the first nine holes to players by eleven a.m. if everything goes as planned. Right now it is twenty degrees so I don't expect an early start. Ugh.

March, 21, 2010 Aerification
This week we are aerifying greens starting with this afternoon. So far we have aerated eight greens, picked plugs on four of those eight. Giving favorable weather conditions the next two days we should be on track with completing all twenty by the end of Tuesday, March 23rd. Aerification allows water, oxygen and nutrients from fertilizer applications to penetrate the soil. Aerification also helps decrease compaction of the greens surface and helps reduce thatch.
