Aerification Wrap Up

Today we have opened the front nine for play after finishing the aerification yesterday.  Still pulling baskets of sand from the greens and addressing fairway clean up on the back nine to have it ready for tomorrow.  All in all things went quite smoothly all things considered.

We are finally finished fixing the main line break on 15 and will have the hole covered and sodded by the day's end.  Also we have finished the driving range tee expansion by adding the plugs pulled from the greens from aerification.  The sprigs have started to grow and along with these plug the area should fill in quickly.  Next week we are planning to roll the area smooth ... this expansion is not perfect but was the best we could do given our in-house equipment.

The finalizing of the bunkers has also been completed for this year and next summer we will address the issues again to finish them completely.  Today, we are softening the bottom of the greenside bunkers to have them playable for our members.  Additionally, we are starting on the back nine bunkers by weed eating the faces, edging and cleaning them up from the aerification process.  Tomorrow we will address the front nine while it is closed ... I should note that once the crew is removed from the field we will open the entire golf course if possible.
