Aerification and Top dressing

On Monday and Tuesday we aerified over half the greens with small star tines to help with water and air movement through the soil. The holes approximately 1/4 of an inch, will disappear quickly and will have minimal disturbance to the greens surface. Attached is a short clip of the greens aerifier making a pass across 14 green. (Note: Please adjust speaker volume to low)


                                 


The greens were also top dressed during the same time. Most of the sand has been brushed into the greens surface and should not affect play.  The greens have been rolled a few times along with this process to create a smooth playable putting surface.  Shown below is a short video of our light weight greens roller on #5 green.
