This morning, we started the process of aerifying tees. The process will be much like the greens. We will aerify, blow the plugs off to the side, topdress with enough sand to fill the holes, and drag the sand in with a metal drag mat. Since the sand is still very wet from the rain last week, we will need to let the sand sit on the surface for a few hours to dry, which will allow it to be dragged more easily.
Since we will be doing this while play is occurring, we will only do about 6 holes per day. We are doing our best to impact play as little as possible. This morning, we aerified 4, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17 and 18. Wednesday morning we will aerify 1, 2, 3, 10, 11 and 15. Thursday we will finish with 5, 6, 12, 13 and 14. Friday morning I will be spreading fertilizer on the tees and watering.
Again, I apologize for any detrimental impact to play we may cause, but this will be very beneficial in helping alleviate the "hardness" of the tees.
Thanks,
Chuck
