Bring on Some Speed - - - - - - - -> O __
The greens have recovered fully in a very timely manner with no major problems.
Here is a picture of #12 green seven days after aeration.
We are removing a lot of grass and the bumpiness is also less noticeable due to the holes closing over
#7 green. Approaches and fairways also being cut seven days after greens aeration.
With a couple of light topdressings and some grooming, the greens after ten days are ready for a growth regulator. We will ramp up the rolling to continue to firm the greens. Also the application times for irrigation will be cut back further.
Over all the greens are coming along nicely.
As always we appreciate those members who take the time and effort to properly fix ball marks on the greens.
A ball mark that is not fixed immediately will leave a scar on the green that will take weeks to recover.

| #4 Green after two weeks |

| #16 green. Two weeks after aeration. |
Greens speeds will steadily increase over the next couple of weeks, returning to the same conditions we had before started aeration.
See you out on the course.
