This past week we began aerifying the primary rough throughout the golf course. The pictures above show the Deep Tine Aerifier we use for this process. This machine is capable of punching holes 8-12" deep with minimal surface disruption. As the tine enters the soil profile it is designed to fracture the soil at the maximum depth allowing for compaction relief while also promoting gas exchange in the root zone.
With the weather we've had this past week we were able to get an earlier start than originally planned. This is typically a two week process that we are completing at a prime time for turf health as we head into the busy months ahead.
