Aerification 5/12/14 - 5/15/14

Aerification equipment in action. We used 3/4" tines to aerify all fairways and approaches. Tractor mounted 1298 Toro aerifiers help make the job quick and easy.




Left:
After the cores dry, we drag them with a steel drag mat to knock off all dirt leaving the thatch behind to be swept up for disposal.

Right:
Cody is blowing the leftover thatch into rows for the sweeper to pick it up.





Thatch removed from all playing surfaces on holes 1 through 8. 


The chipping green blanketed with 304 topdressing sand after a core aerification. The sand was dragged in to fill all holes to allow for better water movement and nutrient uptake.
