Tining

Ask and you shall receive. Well, sometimes. I prayed a bunch last summer but was never answered.
We've received close to 2" of rain in the last week re-wetting the turf but unfortunately softening everything up. This coming Monday has very cool temps expected, especially at night so we will take advantage of this and needle tine greens. With all the wetness opening channels will allow the noxious gases that accumulate rapidly during wet and warm periods to escape. The slits will also allow vital O2 to penetrate deeply into the soil and give channels for the roots to grow. The plan is to do a few holes Monday ahead of golf and roll smooth behind. The remaining greens will be finished on Tuesday. This operation, as we've done before will not hinder mowing or rolling schedules.
