Necessary Evil

The golf course will be closed May 30th thru June 2nd for greens aerification and fairway verticutting. Aerification involves the pulling of cores from the green surfaces and backfilling the resulting holes with sand. The sand helps to maintain pore space allowing for the exchange of water, nutrients and air. Verticutting of fairways results in the removal of grain and thatch. While the golf course will be in recovery for a couple of weeks, both aerification and verticutting produce healthier grass and better playing conditions in the long run. 

 

We worked out the kinks last week aerifying the chipping and nursery greens.
