Aerification Update


As mentioned in course conditions, the entire course was aerified as of April 13th.  Today we were able to get our first cut on the greens since being aerified on April 9th.  We wait this long to allow all the sand to work its way down into the plant canopy.  Studies have shown this sand layer helps pevent anthracnose, while adding speed and smoothness to the greens.  We greatly appreciate the memberships patience during the week we don't mow allowing the sand to settle into the plant.  You will also notice that the holes have begun to recover despite to the cooler weather.
