GREENS AERIFICATION IS NOT UNTIL JUNE!!
June 13-15 to be exact.
This time of the year when most of the other courses in our area are aerifying their greens I seem to get a lot of questions about the timing of our aerification. Due to the type of grass we have on our greens (T-1 Bentgrass), aerifying this time of the year in our area would be detrimental to our battle with Poa annua. If we were to open up the greens we would just be inviting the Poa to come in and invade our putting surfaces.
So then why June you ask? After some consulting with some local superintendents that are in the same battle against Poa, I chose June because it should be warming up a bit which means that Poa seed head production should be slowing down.
