2nd Summer Aeration 2012 Update

Topdressing the putting green
Well, we finished our 2nd aeration of the summer and it went off without a hitch. The boys from Aeration Technology came out and punched all 21 greens and the 1/4"holes left from the smaller tines are going to heal up wonderfully. As a matter of fact the 14-7-14 fertilizer we applied last Thursday will be kicking in full steam right about now, giving the greens a nice head start to healing. I wouldn't be surprised if they are close to 100% healed by the weekend!

We will be rolling and mowing all week and we hope to have the green speeds back close to 10 on the stimpmetrer by Friday. Hopefully if the rain lets up for a couple of days we will have the roughs all caught up as well. Come on out and enjoy a round here at the Trace!

Stay tuned to the blog for a video of the steps involved in the aeration process. Coming soon!
