Today the staff is busy aerating greens, using 5/8" on a 2x2" hole spacing. Tomorrow, we will hand broom topdress greens with dry sand. That process will take 2-3 days and will be followed by Graden verticutting. That machine cuts 3 mm trenches, like table saw blades, and deposits sand behind in the 1" deep tench that is left. These are both very disruptive processes but critical to long term success of our greens. This means the greens will be very bumpy during the month of April as they heal. Your patience is appreciated and required to ensure we have heathy greens during the season. Healing speeds up once night temperatures are steadily in the 50's and day temperatures top 65F. Until then, no amount of fertilizer can make grass grow. Furthermore, this amount of disruption is done all at once to ensure the greens can hold onto November without any major disruption. We will do 1/4" tines 2-3x during the season but the major cultivation is withheld until November when we Dryject 2 directions. We also have another Dryject scheduled for September of this year; the Tuesday following Labor Day.
