Greens Aerification

  Today we will be aerifying our greens for the first time this year.  We will be using our Toro Procore 648 with the Turf Pride attachment which will pull plugs to the outside edges of greens while aerifying.  The Turf Pride will eliminate any pushing of plugs therefore speeding up the aerification process.  It will also reduce wheel marks on our greens as we will not have to use our sweeper  to clean-up plugs like we normally do.
  For this first aerification we are going to topdress heavy first then aerify behind pulling a 3/8 plug.  After all the plugs are cleaned up, we will then use Salsco roller and a Toro vibratory roller to smooth out all the greens to create the smoothest putting surface possible.
