It has been a busy 2 day on the course. We completed our Greens aerification on Tuesday. Staff worked very hard. I would like to say it went smooth but we had our problems. Monday our Topdresser decided it was not ready for aerification. Here we are ready to apply sand to our greens with no way to put it out. Rob was trying to troubleshoot the problem but after 2 hours something had to be done. We converted our fertilizer spreader into a topdresser. It worked very well but we could not haul as much sand with it so it took a lot more trips per green. It looked like we would be working up until dark but Rob saved the day and got our broken topdresser fixed around 5:00 p.m. That was a relief. The second day ran very smooth and we finished back nine greens by 3:30 p.m. Here are a few pictures of our aerification process.
