As promised, all three croquet lawns are being aerated and topdressed this morning. We are using 5/8" hollow tines on a close, quad tine spacing. Once the sand that is being applied to the surface dries, we will be dragging the lawns with brooms to further knock the sand into the holes. When finished, we'll be moving to the practice facility, where both chipping greens will be aerated and topdressed.
Later this week, we'll be starting on approaches. When those are complete, we'll go back down to the practice facility and aerate the practice tee. Starting November 1st, the hitting stations will be placed on artificial mats for the remainder of the season. Unfortunately, grass is no longer growing, which means we cannot heal divots until next spring.
