Cowan Creek Greens Aerification

Just wanted to let everyone know that although the Cowan Greens are responding well to our cultural practices and the warmer weather we still have a ways to go. It may seem from the outward appearance that they are getting better and finally starting to get healthy again but underneath the surface we still have organic matter build-up and sodium issues to deal with. Today we are doing a deep tine aerification with a 13/16" coring tine at a depth of 7 1/2". This may seem to be taking a step back as far as ball roll and smoothness are concerned but it is a necessity that it be done for the future health and benefit of the greens. We hope to have them healed up and smooth again within the next two weeks.
