Aerification Alert

pulling cores on No. 1 green

It's that time of year again. Greens aerification will begin this week. We will be closing the practice greens for a few hours midday Friday. Sunday tee times will end at 3:00 p.m. giving us time in the afternoon to start the aerification process. The course will also be closed all day Monday(3/20) when the majority of the work will be completed.

We will also be punching holes in the fairways Monday(3/20). These deep tines can penetrate 8-10" into the soil profile. This process greatly reduces compaction and allows gas exchange deep in the root zone. With proper moisture and nutrient management, roots will have the ability dive deeper into the soil allowing for a healthier stand of turf above the surface.
