August greens aeration.


The August greens aeration is done with our Procore aerator equipped with 1/4 inch solid tines.


Following the aeration the greens are mowed in 2 perpendicular directions with a mower equipped with groomers.
The sand/seed mixture is applied with our TORO Workman and Propass topdresser.
We mix some T-1 bengrass seed in with the topdressing sand in our never-ending battle against poa annua.
After the topdressing sand is applied the greens are dragmatted in 2 directions to get the sand/seed mixture into the canopy.
