Aerifying Fairways

Another practice that is important for turfgrass growth is aerification. Puncturing holes into the ground as you see in the picture helps with root zone growth, air exchange, thatch accumulation and compaction. The cores that are pulled are 2.5 inches deep with a 5/8 inch diameter. We then pulverize the cores and blow the remaining remnants into the rough. We began the start of this process early last week and finished aerifying the back nine. We will continue to aerify the front nine until we finish the process.
