Fairway aeration plan

Due to the recent inclement weather, we've had to adjust the aeration schedule. At this point, we've decided to aerate a couple fairways as the weather cooperates. Dry, sunny weather is necessary in order to dry the plugs and expedite the cleanup process. I realize that aeration is always an inconvenience. However, it is the single most important cultural practice that can be performed on highly maintained turf. We are beginning to see the benefits of a good aeration program on both greens and fairways.

Our goal, while aerating, is to minimize the impact on daily play. We should have no problem having each fairway plugged and cleaned up before the first group comes through. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
