Wet Conditions

Since there are no golfers on the course because of the weather, why wouldn't you take advantage of the situation and aerify?
I would love to take advantage of the limited golf to do this, however the moisture will only set us back and it makes our goal that much more difficult to achieve when everything is wet.
First off, when soils are saturated, most times cores will not come out of the ground, or at the very least we acheive about half of the desired depth. Then, if they do come out of the ground and the cores are wet, it becomes very difficult to separate the soils from the thatch and plant matter. One of the goals during fairway aerification is to return as much soil back into the root zone and only remove the plant materials.
So we wait for another day. In the meantime, the GCM staff will continue with other projects on the course.
