Yes, that's right, AERATION. As August draws to a close, we begin to make preparations for our annual fall aeration of our low cut playing areas. This year we will be deep-tining and core aerating our greens beginning Monday the 19th of September. In addition we will do our best to complete core aeration of our tees and fairways by Wednesday the 21st.
The course will be closed until noon on Wednesday and any remaining fairways and tees will be completed shortly thereafter. This will likely leave approach aeration to be completed while the course is open. Though this isn't optimal, it is nearly impossible for us to complete everything in such a short time span.
The aeration process typically goes pretty quickly, as long as we avoid costly equipment problems. It is normally the topdressing that follows aeration cleanup that takes the most time. Transporting our topdresser to and from our shop proves to be very time consuming. We always do our best to make aeration as painless as possible for our guests and members, but some disruption is likely. Please remain patient and in a couple of weeks, aeration will be only a distant memory. Thank you for your cooperation.
