Aerification Still Continues

Yesterday we finished up the roughs and all of the front nine fairways along with several on the back nine.  This leaves us only driving range, 14 & 16's fairways to finish the aerification of the golf course.  Of course we still have greens 11 and 13 left to finally finish everything which will be done before play on Thursday. 
Aerifying & Dragging the Practice Area First Thing in the Morning
Yesterday the greens we spot aerified (1, 5, 10 and 15) and the 12th green which entirely done went smoothly.  These areas really needed this additional aerification (12's was the first time this year we aerified it) to aid in the smoothing of the newly laid sod and by the "bucking" of the aerifer were still facing issues in over compaction ... which limits the turf growth.
Blowing Drag Debris from Fairway
Plug repair still will continue until it is completed ... but speaking to the members lately the greens have been picking up speed and putting much better.  We will continue to strive for the best that we can for our summer members.
