Greens Aeration

Our second greens core aeration went extremely well this week.  Recovery time frame will be much shorter than the March aeration with much higher soil temperatures now.  Daily rolling for surface preparation will the protocol through the weekend and into next week.  First mowing at higher heights will be later next week once turf growth has progressed above sand.  Mowing heights will be gradually lowered over the next couple weeks as coverage improves and sand becomes less abrasive to mower reels.  This late spring aeration will allow for continued development of root structure prior to summer heat.  Monthly venting with bayonet solid tines will proceed over summer months, same as past several years.  Final greens core aeration of the year will take place late September shortly after Member-Guest tournaments.
