A rare beautiful day in March to do cultivation practices to greens but we will take it. This process has not been done at Arcola since 2009 and this is beneficial to drill into the subsurface that aeration and deep tine aeration cannot reach. With XGD in more than 70% of our greens, it is beneficial to do this process now that water has somewhere to go. Even with 4 machines, it will take us a good day and a half to finish. We first went on the greens with Ninja tines to remove poa plugs to spread on our bentgrass greens, we then followed with the drill and fill and then aerated on top with 5/8" solid tines. Dryject will be done on March 29 and that will be the end of major disruption to the greens this spring. A good amount of sand will be incorporated into our soil profile this spring.
