Aerification of greens 3/15

Last week the greens were aerified and top-dressed.  This spring, we used a 1/2" solid tine and achieved a depth of around 8".  We followed with our ProCore 648 and pulled a 3/8" core.  Rain held us up on Wednesday but we were able to complete everything on Thursday.  I have included some photos for those who have never seen the process.

Elmer is pulling 3/8" cores on the small practice green.


Donald and Fabian clean up the plugs with our Core Harvester   
Jose breaks up any remaining plugs with a drag mat.
Samuel blows away any remaining debris.
Hugo applies the top-dressing.

Lucger sweeps in the sand with a Cocoa mat.
