We tried another crack at fairway aeration and ran into more rain.  Only two fairways were completed before rain interrupted our work.  We will be back at it on Wednesday to complete.  We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused to your golf game.  This may be the most difficult core aeration I've encountered. 
 

 

Tuesday morning aerating the 2nd hole.  We aerated the driest fairways first.  The cores must dry before they can be drug and then collected.  This process begins almost two hours after the fairway is aerated.

 

 

Dragging the course in with harrows.  This is done twice.

 

 

Collecting the remaining cores and thatch.

 

 

This is not as neat as we would like.  The fairway will need to be drug again and then blown for final cleanup.  Unfortunately only two fairways were completed before it got too wet.  We have nine fairways that are covered with aeration cores that must wait for drier conditions before completing.  There are six holes remaining to be aerated.

 

 

The rain is helping wash the sand into the profile.  All greens were sprayed with a liquid fertilizer to enhance recovery today.

 

 

The tees were sprayed as well with a little light irrigation added to knock the insecticide off the leaf blades.
