It's easy as A D C

Yesterday morning we started our aeration program to all putting surfaces. We have started off by using 9" pencil tines with no heave (straight in straight out), this is a slow process and will take little over 2 days to complete. Some disruption to the surfaces, but this will stand the greens in good stead for the forthcoming season.

D= Drainage

There has also been a small change to the 4th tee complex. The tee box had minimal access for machinery, which was only accessible for the smaller machinery. It was also hard for turning, creating wear and tear on the front of the tee. The description was to remove the existing sleepers, and replace with an equal sloping bank.

I'm heading to the BTME conference in Harrogate next week, this is an annual show presenting the industry with all the latest practices, equipment and seminars on turf related subjects.
