Aerification 2013

Last week's aerification was a memorable one. The crew arrived Monday morning anxious to start only to be sent home shortly after as the rain began to intensify. We eventually broke ground Tuesday afternoon with 1.5 inches of rain in the gauge and the sun finally poking through the clouds. Staying late, we finished 5 greens and were ready to keep moving Wednesday morning when temperatures fell to18 degrees overnight with the wind chill leaving the ground solid as a rock, frozen. Thursday saw more delays as snow blanketed the short grass and by Friday late afternoon we were completing the 18th green with a sigh of relief.


Topdressing Approaches
Finally thawed Wednesday afternoon
A little snow never hurts!





Great Results
Material pulled from the greens( about 25- 30 tons)
