Well, yesterday was an extremely productive day as we completed topdressing the greens with over 50 tonnes of sand and were able begin matting the material into the aeration holes. Farm-Tek worked very late as well and were able to complete their portion of the aeration process by solid tine aerating our fairways and applying over 1200 tonnes of sand to our fairways and rough. They will be moving their equipment out later today.
Today's weather is looking like it is about to take a turn for the worst so we are accomplishing as much as we can ahead of the forecasted rain. The forecast for tomorrow looks much better so we still anticipate reopening on Friday morning. Upon reopening, we may be forced to have a few temporary greens in play, particularly on the back 9, while we wrap up some finishing touches due to lost time from inclement weather.
I am very pleased with this spring's aeration process so far. We've had a few hiccups along the way with some curveballs thrown at us from Mother Nature, but we've avoided any major setbacks. Now let's just hope for some warmer weather to spur on some growth for a speedy recovery! As of right now, it looks somewhat promising:
