This morning we vented greens, which normally gets done on Monday mornings. With our busy outing schedules and early outing shotguns, Mondays are not an option until we get to August and September. With the Arcola Cup on July 8, the US Am Preview on the 12th and a Member Guest on the 14th, it is now or wait another month. The pictures above show the process, a tractor punches pencil sized holes in the greens and it is followed by a roller to smooth the surface. For good measure, we did a stimpmeter reading following the practice and we rolled 15'.4". No impact on speed, trueness or smoothness. The only thing now is the the greens will dry down much quicker over the next few days but it is a good trade off after the heavy rains of late.
