Fall maintenance photos

This is the first time we've aerfied all of the green surrounds. This helps with compaction issues and gives the seed a little soil to bind to. We also can smooth out some wavy turf that's been folded over from frequent mowing in the same direction. This is most commonly seen just outside the green collar where the mower can only go parallel with the green's border.

Dante just finished mowing greens and has a lot of clippings to show for it. This was our first cut with the walk mowers, 7 days after aerification. We jumped back on the growth regulators to improve density, slow down top growth, and lighten Dante's work load.

Bert is seeding the approaches with Izzo keeping a watchful eye. We slit seeded the tees and approaches in two directions and then broadcast more seed to be brushed into the canopy.

Seven days after seeding, we already have some corn rows popping up. We are now about two weeks post-seeding and we will cut the tees at 3/4 inch with a rotary mower. More growth regulator will thicken up the new seedlings and we are well on our way to a solid stand of ryegrass for the the winter season.
