Greens Aerification
The greens have almost completely healed in, just eight days after aerification. After a cut and roll this morning, they are rolling nicely.
Tee Aerification
It was a long day yesterday as we were able to complete tee aerification. We created over 1.2 million holes at a 3" depth. After the cores dried, we chopped, dragged, and blew the excess soil into the holes.
Fairway Aerification
We also started aerifying fairways yesterday. Aerifying fairways with the soil reliever is a slow and tedious process because we have to drive at 1 mph. To put this in perspective, it took José 14 minutes to travel the length of #3 fairway (1185 ft). That is just one pass; it took him over 20 passes to complete the fairway. Although the soil reliever is slow, one of the big benefits of this machine is that it can aerify at an 10" depth.
By the end of today, we will have completed fairways 1-4, 6, and 8 (260,264 ft²), which is 25% of the fairways.
