Early Aerification

With the course currently closed, we decided to move up our spring aerification dates from May to April.  Once again, the good weather forecast we were promised ahead of time, didn't materialize, and we were dealing with dreary conditions, making cleanup and sand incorporation challenging on Monday and Tuesday.

We followed up later in the week with the Dryject, sand injection.  As always, this is truly a "heavy lift" since we hand load the four Dryject machines with over 50,000 pounds of sand.  With a smaller number of staff working, this made the workload that much greater.

Thankfully, help came in the form of our Golf Professional and General Manager.  We truly appreciate Matt and Joel lending a hand!

It always feels good to get this task out of the way.  With typical temperatures in April, 10  degrees lower than in May, the recovery process will be somewhat slower than usual, however we look forward to having the greens in great shape when the course reopens.
