This past Monday and Tuesday the staff and I got an early start and aerified all of the tees on the course. This time around we decided to aerify most of the tee banks along with the tee tops. Since we have not really aerified any of the tee banks since the course was rebuilt we felt it was necessary to get some of them opened up to allow more air and water to reach the roots and help us make it through our summer months. It turned out to be perfect timing as we received a little over a tenth of an inch of rain last night. On some of the harder more compacted tees we aerified in two directions.
We will be putting down some gypsum and our first ever "organic" granular fertilizer application on Friday before the next little storm. I am finally trying to add some organic fertilizer into our mix of plant nutrition products we use throughout the year. We will be doing the same thing when we aerify fairways in a couple of weeks. Here are a couple of examples of the tee banks that were aerified.
