Greens Aeration – 28th September
Greens aeration work is currently being carried out this week on all greens except the 13th and 14th, which recently underwent the VGR TopChanger demonstration.
The hollow coring process removes excess organic matter from the upper rootzone, creating space for improved air and water movement throughout the soil profile. Following coring, sand is brushed into the holes to aid drainage, improve gas exchange around the roots and help maintain a firmer, healthier putting surface.
This work complements the recent Wiedenmann and Toro ProCore 648 solid tine aeration operations and forms part of our ongoing programme to improve the long-term health and performance of the greens.
We appreciate members’ patience while the greens recover and look forward to the benefits these essential maintenance practices will bring.
