Post Aerification Mowing

The Aerification and Topdressing process takes its toll on the golf course as well as our mowing equipment. We attempted to mow greens this morning for the second time since the aerificaiton was completed. We were able to get a pretty good cut on our first few greens but after the sand had time to take its toll on the mowers they struggled to cut any grass. They will continue to get better as the holes begin to fill and the sand has a chance to get worked into the canopy. On days that we don't mow we will be rolling the greens to help with smoothness. We realize that this process may be frustrating for those of you trying to play but it should begin to get better quickly. I have always looked at aerification as a temporary inconvenience for a permanent improvement.
