What a perfect day to start fairway aeration. A year like this is when we really need to do this procedure, especially in October. After all the heavy rains since summer the ground becomes compacted from mower and cart traffic. In August, we deferred this practice until October so the soil and turf needs to be punched for plant health and to set it up for next year. Originally, this was to be a perfect week for this with no events, but we have a few rescheduled tournaments from the past few weeks that will have to play with less than ideal fairways. The weather looks perfect for us to get as much done this week as possible and it is likely it will carry over into next week when we begin greens aeration. Short term pains, long term gains.
