Where's the happy turf?

 If you spend some time staring at the greens, they may appear to be completely spotted.  So what's with the lack of uniformity?  


Those dark green dots are last November's aerification holes.  While no cool-season turf is enjoying this weather, the bright green dots certainly show some healthier grass.


In contrast, the turf in a small "skip" last November has a much less vibrant appearance.  Despite the current weather, we continue to mow the greens seven days a week at 0.100", and roll the greens five times per week.  At times like this, the importance of aerification can't be overstated.
