Aerification Update 10/17/2012

All the greens have been punched and cleaned up.  Unfortunately, the rain Monday afternoon set us back and we were not able to get all the greens rolled and topdressed yesterday.  Our goal today (after the frost lifts) is to roll, topdress, and drag the remaining greens.  This means we will be working in play, but it's important we complete these tasks today ahead of the rain.  Thank you for your understanding.


Aerification is one of the most labor intensive tasks we do, but it's something that has to be done and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the following people who helped make a difference:

• My staff for their dedication and perseverance through the long hours and less-than-ideal weather.
• The faculty and students in the Horticulture Department at Bidwell Training Center who graciously volunteered their time both Monday and Tuesday.
• Chef Bob for keeping us well-fed and energized during the long process.

I couldn't have done it without you.  Thank You!
