Solid Tine Aerification

Following many of our bigger events you may find us out there the next day solid tining the putting surfaces. During many of our events we mow and roll greens and a much higher frequency than normal. The mowing and extra rolling causes more stress and compaction. The solid tining (aka: venting) helps relieve some of that compaction and allows water and air to get to the root zone. This process causes very minimal disruption and within a day or two is not noticeable. We performed this procedure today on all 27 holes. The Greens held up very well during the Member/Member Tournament this weekend. Today's aerification will help reduce some of the stress that was put on them over the weekend.
