Pictures of Greens Aeration Recovery from Saturday Morning



Greens are healing up very nicely and really benefited from the 1.8" rain we had Friday night and Saturday morning.

A day of Aeration

Aeration went very well on Tuesday.  We are already seeing good growth up through the sand and plan on mowing tommorrow (Friday).  The greens have been rolled twice and are rolling smoothly.  Here is the series of events on Tuesday.  Please click on each photo for a closer up view.

Close up of the greens after process was complete.  2"X1.5" spacing was used with almost 1/2" tines



We have rolled the greens twice with this Salsco roller and will continue as needed



Aeration is Tuesday April 12th

We will be aerating the greens on the golf course this coming Tuesday the 12th.  We have an outing Monday at 1:00PM and as soon as the outing goes out we will do the 3 practice greens to get a head start for Tuesday.  Doing these 3 greens on Monday will allow us to get all the kinks out and see exactly how the process will go.  We will get our sand settings down and put the crew in their "positions" to make Tuesday run more smoothly.  Here is a video regarding the need for aeration and how the process takes place.  Please look again at the blog later in the week to see pictures of the day and how the greens are recovering from aeration.
