Not More Holes?!?

You may notice over the next few days that we have punched more aerification holes in select locations. Yes, our last major aerification was two weeks ago but as part of our ongoing maintenance program we continue to focus on key areas that will benefit from additional aerification. Most of these locations are areas that receive heavy cart traffic resulting in compacted soils. Aerification of these areas promotes stronger plants to better withstand traffic. Other key areas receiving supplemental aerification are some of the sandier spots with poorer soil quality. Following the aerification of these areas, an organic fertilizer will be applied to improve soil structure and water retaining ability as well as important nutrients for the grass.

Disruption of the golf course should be minimal and only be noticeable for a few days.
