We completed our first greens aerification of the season last Monday and Tuesday. The process was successful and our goal of pulling out large cores deep followed by a topdressing to fill the holes was realized. Following the aerification and topdressing, the greens were rolled with a 2500 pound roller 3 times and our speed roller 2 times by Thursday. The collers were also aerified and rolled. The greens are recovering nicely and we are getting back on a regular mowing and rolling routine. Today we aerified the large driving range tee.
