It has been a very productive week for the Wakonda Grounds Staff. We have completed aeration of all greens on the golf course. We filled the holes with sand and have been rolling regularly to smooth the putting surfaces. Fertilizer was applied to help facilitate the healing of aeration holes. We have also aerated 14 of 18 tees. Tees are also rolled to smooth the surface and provide a firm footing. Other accomplishments for the week include fertilizing all fairways and installing 16 pallets (8,000 square feet) of bluegrass sod.
