It is always interesting to see how other courses deal with common issues that arise in golf course maintenance. A while back, we saw this trick on Turfnet for dealing with high plugs on the green, and finally had a chance to try it ourselves:
Basically this is an aerification tine mounted to a metal handle. By removing a core from a high plug, you can kneed the area together and get it flush with the surrounding putting surface. Our Equipment Technician, Don Robel, fabricated this beauty:
While we don't expect to be wearing out the aerification tine on the end anytime soon, Don built this tool so that it can be equipped with a variety of tine sizes:
This tool checks all of the boxes--it is both simple and very effective.
