AERATION
Tee and fairway aeration has begun now that the course has adequate time to dry out from the rains of September. Tees are aerated and topdressed prior to commencing on fairway aeration. Here we are testing out our settings on #2 Tee. The tine used is a 5/8" side eject tine set to a depth of 4". Note the windrow kit attachment to the John Deere 1500 aerator. This allows the pulled cores to be easily cleaned up with a sweeper or manually shovelled. Following the cleanup of the cores we blow the tee decks clean of the final bits of debris and mow one last time.
