2013 Fall Aerification

Monday's aerification went exceedingly well with overcast skies, cool temps, and the crew raring to go. After 14 hours going strong, all the greens and approaches were cored. The greens were punched using 1/4" hollow tines and 3/4" hollow tines for the approaches. Finishing Monday was key as hotter temps were arriving Tuesday and Wednesday. The less time spent abusing the grass during the heat of the day would aid in recovery. Topdressing and brushing was done first thing in the morning and early evening to avoid the heat. This allowed us to concentrate on cooling/syringing off the grass midday as temps hit 90 degrees.
