Compaction Relief

This has been a good week for the Maintenance Staff.  Compaction Relief has been in full force with the limited numbers of golfers on the course.

The fairways are receiving a 3/4" solid wobble tine relief.  This machine is pulled by a tractor and is going done to a depth of 4-5".  By the end of the week we hope to have all the fairways done.  Next week we will be hitting the Driving Range and Practice Area.




Next the tee, collar and aprons are all getting relief in the form of a 1/2" solid tine traditional aeration.  Once the relief is done we are applying a heavy coating of top dressing sand, this will be watered and rolled into the 1/2" holes.  This will be accomplished as of Thursday.  You will notice some softer areas here, this is a result of lack of roots in some of the grasses we have.  

The Golf Course is still in great shape, hope you enjoy some Fall Golf.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
