Aerification 4-14-15

On 4-14-15 we performed a 1/4" hollow tine aerification on our greens and we punched our fairways with 3/4" solid tines. Our process on greens was:

Topdress heavy with Damp Medium sand
Aerify w/ 1/4" hollow tines on a 2"X2" spacing
Brush 2 directions
Blow off the debris that was left
Roll with Salsco roller
Fertilize with a granular fertilizer

These small holes usually heal up pretty quickly, so hopefully with some decent weather the greens will be back in great shape in no time. The fairways will heal very quickly from a solid tine aerification. After a few mowing's the holes will just disappear.

You can really see how much sand is being put out here

That is my pocket knife and a dime to give you some perspective on the hole size.
