Time To Punch Some Holes

The equipment is ready to go and the weather forecast looks good for greens aerification on Monday. We are using slightly smaller tines than previous aerifications, but are still pulling a core and backfilling with sand.  The reason for using a smaller diameter tine is to reduce the amount of surface disruption which allows the putting surface to heal faster.  I anticipate a full recovery of the greens in two weeks, unless a stretch of really cold weather settles in.  Additionally, the golf course will only be closed on Monday for aerification and will re-open for play Tuesday morning.
