Whew, we can finally exhale! What an aeration week that was!
watering in topdressing sand on #17 green following aeration |
I am very pleased (and relieved) to report that despite the mediocre weather, the spring aeration was a success and the course reopened yesterday without any temporary greens. We were able to accomplish all of our routine greens aeration tasks and they are well onto their way to full recovery. Here is a photo taken on #10 green this morning, just 2 days after aeration:

We will be completing topdressing and matting tees over the next few days; the wet weather made it quite difficult to pull cores on them so we have been punching them as conditions are improving. We appreciate your patience as finish them up.
The weather forecast for this week is promising, so we anticipate greens will be about 90% healed within the next 7-10 days. As always, I'm not putting my trust into the weatherman though!
