Aeration Schedule Around Rain


The above diagram shows the benefits of core aeration.  Oxygen into the root zone to promote vigorous root growth as well as the removal of unwanted organic matter in the thatch layer of the greens.  We were only able to get greens 1 thru 10 done today as a result of the rain coming in the near future.  We will be finishing the greens whenever weather allows us to get back out there.  We cannot aerate if there is any chance of rain in the forecast as this will create an even bigger mess that will effect play for an extended period of time.
