Our greens have bounced back from aeration quite well.  We are now concentrating on trueing up the putting surfaces so get ready as they are going to change rapidly over the course of the next few weeks.  Today we groomed and will do this again on Thursday followed by rolling.  Grooming is similar to vertical mowing except it is much less aggressive.  Grooming allows the plants to grow more upright and will provide a smoother putting surface.  On Friday we will reduce the height of cut slightly.  The fertilizer that was applied after aeration was a fast release type that should begin breaking down shortly.  The guys have been "bailing hay" of late!
