During fairway aeration we decided to verticut into the stepcuts. You will see by the picture above quite a few areas got shredded. Basically these are bentgrass patches that at 1" get really puffy and the verticutter rips through it instead of slicing through it. Bentgrass performs great at 1/2" or lower and anything higher gets puffy and unplayable. While this looks ugly, we are going around to seed these areas to get more rough grasses in them so this does not keep happening. In this case, I am actually not upset by seeing this, especially in November. By next spring these areas should be healed for the 2024 golf season.
