Fall Aerification Schedule Change

The greens and tees aerification was originally scheduled for September 20-23, but has changed to greens being aerified on September 29-30.  The tees will still be done from the 20th-23rd.   We will be contracting a company called DryJect for the greens this year.  The process, pictured below, includes three machines blasting high pressure water into the green and then back files with a special sand to the top of the hole.  The healing process should be rather fast and will improve greens overall health.  There will be three machines going on the course with approximately four people per machine.  There will be many hole closures during this process.  I wanted to announce this far in advance, so everyone would know before they arrive to the course.  Fairway core aerification will be September 26-27 and October 3-7 with weather permitting.  Also, I have attached some instructional video links at the right of this page through the USGA.  Check them out!
Thanks
