Our spring aeration is planned for Monday, 3/18 but weather is not looking good right now. We plan to double aerate with our deep-tined Verti-drain machine and follow right behind with a walking unit that we are using from our local Toro dealer which will pull cores. Double aeration worked very well for us last season so no reason to not do it again this year.
Dry weather is a must for this practice since we will be pulling up large amounts of sand as well as applying additional sand to go back into the holes. We can normally get about 14-15 greens accomplished the first day with good weather and then do a couple of greens on Tuesday/Wednesday each so we do not interrupt play. If we are rained out this week, our rain date is planned for April 1st. The unit is not available next Monday so we must delay a week. Below is a video from a couple of years ago of the deep-tine part of our work.
