With an extremely dry spring so far, we decided to move up our fairway venting a few weeks and start opening them up now instead of after July 4th. Mainly due to golf schedule issues, but more importantly our fairways were repelling water. The second benefit, we have been in a high humidity, cloud cover and hit or miss thunderstorms for the past 4 days. We figured, once we started getting hit by these storms having holes in the fairways to allow them to breathe would be beneficial. So far, we have gotten .9" of rain since Friday and another round of storms coming today.
As you see in the top picture, the holes are small and once we roll and mow them, you can barely notice. I will be curious to see how the fairways react later this week when the rain is out of the forecast for the next 7+ days. Most likely if our schedule and weather permits, we will do this process again in mid to late July.
