Hole 7 |
Aeration of greens and approaches is complete. We really lucked out with great weather. The maintenance staff did an excellent job during our entire aeration process. Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the hard work and long hours each one of you put in this week.

Overall, the aeration process went pretty smoothly. There were a couple of equipment issues, but that is just par for the course. The biggest issue that came up was a drag mark on front edge of 7 green. This was caused by a tine that stuck in the turf and was just barely above the surface of the green. The core harvester operator could not see the tine because it blended in with the cores on the surface of the green. Consequently, the tine was dragged for a few feet before the problem was resolved. Below is a picture of the drag mark during repair.
