Venting/solid tining collars/approaches

A short video explaining the venting/solid tining of our collars/approaches we did on Monday.  Collars are the most drought prone turf on our course due to the fact that the greens which are right next to the collar receive small amounts of water so that the greens roll well and are healthy.  The collars require more water and one  way in helping with this issue is extra venting/solid tining of these surfaces.  This will improve root development and will allow moisture to penetrate these areas with less restriction.  Our hand watering efforts focus on these areas because they require more water than our overheads can apply without negatively effecting the greens.
