Aerifing

We aerified 7& 15 today just to get them out of the way and take advantage of some of the cool weather. They look really good after the topdressing - even after a little indecision at the beginning. After making a pass on 15, it was really soft and squishy. After making an adjustment to the machine and stressing over what would make more damage - either not aerating or continuing - I decided to keep going.

We apply slow release Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, 007 seed, and an organic app to help the collars and cleanups recover. Aeration is a great time to take advantage of a clear pathway into the soil for our additional nutrients.

We will finish the front 9 greens on Monday and the back 9 on Tuesday. Aeration is a great tool that aids in recovery.
