Turn the Radio Up? Aerification Day #1 is Complete!

For those who listen to SiriusXM Radio, I will be a guest on PGA TOUR Radio on Katrek & Maginnes on Tap at 6:00pm this evening, August 19. You can find PGA TOUR Radio on Sirius #208 / XM #92. I will have the opportunity to speak with Brian and John about current regulations impacting the golf industry and look forward to being their guest.

Yesterday was day #1 of our aerification. It was a long, hot day for the maintenance crew but they managed to get a good start. While it's not fun for anyone, aerification is a necessary practice for the long-term success of turf management, especially on putting greens. Serving multiple purposes, aerification is primarily performed to create space for air, water and nutrients to move into the soil as well as thatch removal from the green surfaces. This promotes healthy turfgrass and superior putting surfaces throughout the golfing season.

   Arturo is happy to be on his last green for the day.
