#3 green damge from aeration

Our 3rd green sustained some damage from an overheated radiator during our aeration. A line about an 1" in average was burned across the green.  A belt broke controlling the fan which allowed the unit to overheat,  By the time the operator was notified of the overheating from a warming light, he had already tracked across the green once and proceeded across it a second time.  The turf was burned from the heat but appears to be green in the crown area of the plant.  We will continue to monitor this situation and will replace any area of turf that does not survive.

The line is not as pronounced in the picture.
