FALL AERATION UPDATE

 We have had beautiful weather for our fall aeration practices.  Greens were aerated last Wednesday and Thursday and are growing aggressively and healing nicely.  We just added some additional topdressing sand today to top- off any aeration holes which had settled since last week and were not quite full to the surface.  We anticipate that the holes will be completely healed by next week's Wakonda Cup Event.

Aeration holes on the 10th green.

Fairway aeration is now in full swing.  We were delayed a few days due to a bad clutch in our large tractor.  It will take us over a week to aerify all 26 acres of fairways.


Tee aeration was completed the past two days.  

The 13th red/ yellow tee being aerified early Tuesday morning.

Our staff has worked extremely hard the past two weeks harvesting cores.
