Tee Aerification

     It is that time of year to aerify our Zoysia tee boxes.  Zoysia grass is a warm season Turfgrass.  It thrives in the hot summer months.  The best time to aerify is when the Turfgrass is growing at it best.  This is a very labor intensive cultural practice.  I have 7 people involved in this job. We have a total of 69 tee boxes on our course that need to be aerified.   Here are a few pictures of the process.

All cores are in nice windrow.

We push cores in piles and pick them up with scoop shovels.

After tee is blown  off with Back Pack Blower we are done.
