Fairway Aerification

 Our spring aerification of fairways was completed yesterday, May 2nd. Because of our always busy spring schedule we out source this aerification.
Turf Pounders from New Jersey arrive at 6:00 AM and with normal conditions usually complete the aerificiation of our 27 acres of fairways and set cuts in one day.

 We use solid 3/4 inch aerification tines for this procedure. Holes are typically 3 inches deep on  2 inch by 2.5 inch centers. A fairway top dressing usually accompanies this aerification, but because of the very mild spring the golf and grounds staff was able to top dress the fairways 3 weeks ago.

Use of solid tines provides the channels for air, nutrients and water we are looking for and leaves the surface playable immediately after aerification.
