First Day of Aerification

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

The first day did not start too well for aerification ... on the first hole (4's green) that we aerified the 20 year old JD triplex had a massive hydraulic blow out while doing the clean up lap around the green, fortunately it was on the back side of the green and not on the green itself.  Then the 17 year old Toro triplex used to replaced it broke down on its way to 5's tee.  This wasn't the end of the equipment issues ... one of the EZ-GO used to drag the greens caught on fire, and two other utility units could not even pull the drag mats.  As if this wasn't enough the belt on one of the aerfiers snapped and its replacement is not available until midday on Tuesday.

The good news that even with all these equipment issues due to our rapidly aging fleet we were still able to complete nine greens during the aerification.  We are hoping today with be much better than yesterday was on our equipment.
