This Spring the Greens will not be core aerated as they have in the past. The organic layer and compaction have been controlled with the lack of play that the course has received this last season. I made the decision to use Solid Cross Tines which will allow for air and water movement within the rootzone. This method will allow for a quick healing time. Following the aeration, a light rate if Calcium Ammoniun Nitrate will be applied to stimulate early season growth.
