Successful Aeration

We are happy to report that we were able to beat the rain and complete our deep tine aeration to our greens. We incorporated quite a bit of sand into our soil profile, and have worked to further dissipate our buried layer of organic material. Recovery from aeration in the spring tends to be slower than fall, due to lagging soil temperatures. Fortunately, there is a warming trend over the next 5 days that leaves us optimistic that our recovery will be quicker than normal for this time of year.

A sight for sore eyes. Each year we break through the organic material that once impeded our roots, our greens get a little stronger. As a Golf Course Superintendent, variations of the photo shown above will never get old.

Not too bad of a playing surface while we recover from the process
