Course Aeration: Day 2

Another successful day of course aeration complete. The second half of the greens were completed yesterday. We also completed some follow up clean-up on the greens that were completed yesterday, by blowing the excess sand across and off the green. This helps top of any holes that were still lacking sand as well as provide a cleaner surface, exposing more leaf tissue to increase photosynthesis and recovery.

We also aerated and overseeded the lower driving range tees, and aerated half of the approaches.

Approach aeration

Today we focus on finishing aeration of the approaches as well as seeding them with more ryegrass and topdressing. We also begin aerating fairways today, starting with the holes we will also be topdressing (our worst performing in terms of drainage, playability and plant health): #3, 4, 8 and 12. Still alot of work to be done, but we're making steady progress!
