Once spring arrives and we get our maintenance operations underway we will be deep tining the greens. These 9 inch solid tines penetrate deep into the soil to help improve rooting, oxygen and draining. We then spread a heavy layer of sand and drag it in then we roll the greens. This process recovers much quicker than the conventional fall core aerification. Our scheduled date is April 22. Click here to view the video directly on my blog.
