Although there is still snow on the ground and we can't navigate the entire course yet, we are punching holes. We tried yesterday, but greens were still to frozen. Our plan is to work into the night to get the greens aerated, topdressed and fertilized before the rain on Thursday evening. If we are able to accomplish this we will be way ahead of getting the course moving for spring.
I have decided to take the advice of Stan Zontek with this aeration. We will be utilizing 1/4" hollow tines, small holes, BUT we will do it twice. One now and again in June. The disruption is no more than that of a solid tine. You may ask, why not just do one big one and be done? Two smaller aerations will provide a much greater benefit with far less disruption. This will also allow the greens to be playable much sooner this spring IF the weather cooperates.
