Aeration September 2011

 Here are a few pictures taken during the aeration process.

The greens were first aerated with our new deep tine aerator 3/8'' 10'' long.

Followed by the traditional hollow tine aerator 1/2''Diameter 4'' long

Three walking aerator were used to speed up the process this year.

The core harvester removes most of the plugs.

The remaining plugs are then blown off.

The greens are seeded with T -1 Creeping Bentgrass, the greens were also fertilized with an organic fertilizer.

Next the Greens are top-dressed with #30 Silica Sand.

The process went pretty smooth this time with minimal damage.
