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
