Greens Aerification Update

The DryJect contractor was here on Monday & Tuesday and another successful aerification is behind us.  There was a slight frost delay Tuesday morning, but other than that the weather was perfect.  The maintenance staff did an incredible job (as they always do) keeping the machines moving and filled with sand.  Speaking of sand, approximately 65 tons (130,000 pounds!) was injected into the rootzone.  Keep in mind that all that sand is moved from our utility vehicles to the DryJect machines by the staff using 5-gallon buckets.  Using 25 pounds of sand in an average bucket equates to 5,200 buckets hauled over the two days.  The greens have been rolled several times since the process occurred, and we anticipate mowing this weekend.
