Greens aeration has been scheduled for Monday, May 2nd. We will be using 1/2" Solid Tines, penetrating into the soil at a depth of approximately 9". Following aeration the greens will be topdressed with sand, which we will then drag to evenly distribute the sand amongst the green.
Deep Tine aeration is a highly beneficial practice for putting surfaces. By "punching" 9" deep holes we create a great space for air and water to get in amongst the soil profile, along with creating an avenue for roots to grow. Strong turf starts with strong roots, so our goal in aeration is to help the roots of the grass plant as much as we can.
By creating relatively small holes, followed by topdressing, mowing and rolling, the after affects of aeration should be short lived. The healing process was aided with our first application of granular fertilizer this past Wednesday.
