Successful Day of Aeration and Course Care

Monday was a success.  We core aerated and cleaned up 14 greens and topdressed and filled the aeration holes on 7 of them.  Our staff also assisted with the Spring Course Care party.  Thousands of divots were filled by a large group of members between 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.  Thank you so much for the hard work.  Barring any bad weather, aeration should be completed today and topdressing and backfilling of holes will be finished tomorrow.  Our team is also hard at work on a few other projects around the golf course including seeding, mowing, and installing irrigation.  Have a great day.

While this process looks very aggressive, it is breathing fresh air into the root zone of the putting greens.
The "divot party" was quite a success.  I will post some more pictures in the future.  The group put out more than 4000 lbs of sand.  Even if you use 1/4 lb of sand for every divot, that is over 16,000 divots.  Great work.
