Tee Aerification

This week we are aerifying tee boxes around the golf course. Pictured here is Justin operating the new John Deere tractor with the new Toro, 3 point hitch aerifier. The large floating tires on the tractor prevent rutting and this method has been proven to be much more productive, compared to walk-behind units. Most of all we are getting the best results. 

The versatility of the tractor allows us to achieve accurate spacing. Following Justin, one of our crew members will drag the cores to break up the soil from the thatch and turf plants. Most of the soil will fall back into the holes. 

Following the dragging, a blower cleans the remaining debris. Over the next few days we will be over seeding with Kentucky Bluegrass seed and lightly topdressing with sand.
