The International Sports turf Research Center, Inc.(the company that performs our physical soil property testing), along with the U.S.G.A. recommends impacting at least 20% of the surface area per year for our grass type and climate.
Yesterday we were able to begin aerify the greens for a second time. Holes 1-9 and the practice were completed and ready for clean up this morning. Unfortunately we received 2.60" of rain that has halted our progress for now. We will need a couple of dry days before we can resume with greens aerification.
Fairways 1-8 have been core aerified, with 1-6 being cleaned up, verticut and mowed. We will resume when they dry out. Below are pictures from last week.
Check back for an update at the end of this week.
