Greens work

Here are some photos of the current aeration work on the greens.
The 1st shows the Weidenmann aerator on the 1st green.
The 22mm wide tines penetrate the soil to a depth of 375mm , heaving the surface to allow air and water movement through the soil.




   The  2nd picture shows the John Deere micro tiner making a pass over the large tine holes. This action helps close the top of the holes over to speed up recovery.





The last picture shows the green being cut by hand mower to lightly roll the putting surface. This will be repeated within a few days.



Following this work, the greens should settle down and be back in play asap.
