We are into day three of aerification, which has some good and some bad news. The good news is, we have successfully aerified all greens, collars, approaches, tees and fairways. Starting Sunday afternoon really gave us a head start and we appreciated the cooperation of the membership to be able to do this. The bad news is, the weather has not cooperated and we are having a hard time getting the sand dry enough to be dragged into the aerification holes. What this means is, the greens will have a significant amount of sand on top of the greens and it will take longer for them to be in really good putting condition. We are applying every means possible to try and get the sand down and into the holes. Unfortunately, this may take several days to accomplish. Please be patient as this process is very labor intensive. I really want to commend the crew thus far as they have covered a lot of ground in a very short period of time. In the next few days we will be trying to continue to get the sand down into the holes on the greens and start to sand the tees as well. The fairways have all been aerified, but due to the wet weather, the plugs have not had a chance to dry out. Until we can effectively drag, mow, and blow them off to the side, walking the course is going to be a little messy. Additionally, until we get some sun??????? and/or some wind, conditions are going to be, well lets just say "different". Spring aerification is always a little tricky due to the unpredictable nature of our weather and events that are scheduled in advance. Feel free to contact me or the pro shop for course conditions as we move forward the rest of this week and into next week.
