Lots of things have been happening on the course in the last couple of weeks. First of all we got the tee's and fairway aerated. We used our Procore on the tees and punched lot of holes. It took three days to get this done. We saved all the plugs from the tees to use on washouts and holes along cart paths. We were waiting for a rain to aerate our fairways. Fairways were getting dry and I need mother nature to add some moisture so our Aerway aerifier could penetrate through the turf. With the wet ground we could get 6 to 7 inches down. The last big project to get done was we removed all of the stumps on the course. We had 33 stumps removed and it took the man 2 hours to complete. It will take us a lot longer to remove all the excess chips and soil he left behind. Below are some pic of all the jobs.
Nick aerating tee's. Aeration helps remove thatch allow for better gas exchange for the turf.
This is what is left when done aearting
All plugs are pushed to ends of tee's and picked up. We saved all plugs.

It leaves 1/2 inch wide slits 6 inches deep
We roll tuffs down after it is aerated
This is our stump man grinding big oak stump on left side of 15 fairway.
That stump was about 3 to 4 feet in diameter. Took him less than 10 minutes to remove.
