North Course Tee Aeration

September 15, 2010 by Jason VanBuskirk 1 Comment

We aerated the front nine North tees yesterday, and we are aerating the back nine North tees today. This process helps with nutrient and water delivery, and it is a similar process to greens. Once the tee is aerated, the cores are blown off and the tee is slice-seeded. A fertilizer will applied next week, once the seed coat softens and the tees return to normal appearance. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you, but it is very non-disruptive to playing conditions. Thanks for your support! See you on the course!

What kind of aerator is that in the video? That this is the craziest aerator I have ever seen. Does it work on regular lawns? That machine is crazy. Love the site keep up the good work I got some good ideas already from your site. Thanks!!!
