We aerified the greens today with the soil reliever. As its name indicates, the soil reliever does just that. When the 10" tines penetrate the soil, they also shatter the soil profile. This action breaks up any compacted layers, helping the soil profile to hold more water. This is important as we head into winter because we do not want excess water building up on the green surfaces, freezing and causing damage.

The solid tines cause very little disruption. After rolling the greens, they are extremely smooth. We created about 15 holes/square foot which works out to be about 61,500 holes per green.
