Attention MGA Members! This years Play Dates:

MGA Championship October 29th

From The Fairways,

As long as I live, I’ll never get used to punching holes in a per-fectly good golf green. But it’s a necessary evil that helps en-sure healthy turf.

Consider also that aerification is merely a short-term disruption that has long-term benefits for the course. When you see them, remember that without those little holes, the greens would eventually die.

Like so many things, the quality of a good putting surface is more than skin deep. In fact, the condition of a green has a lot to do with what goes on below the surface. In order to keep grass growing at 1/8-inch (or less) you have to have deep, healthy roots. Good roots demand oxygen. In good soil, they get the oxygen from tiny pockets of air trapped between soil and sand particles.

Over time, the traffic from golfers' feet (as well as heavy mow-ing equipment) tends to compact the soil under the putting green - particularly when the soil contains a lot of clay. When soil becomes compacted, the air pockets on which the roots depend are crushed, and the roots are essentially left gasping for air. Without oxygen, the grass plants will wither and die.

Aerification is a mechanical process that creates more air space in the soil and promotes deeper rooting, thus helping the grass plants stay healthy. In most cases, it's done by removing 1/2-inch cores (those plugs you sometimes see near a green or in fairways). The spaces are then filled with sand "topdressing" that helps the soil retain air space and makes it easier for roots to grow downward.

Over the next few days we’ll be vertical mowing as well as topdressing the greens for a smoother surface. Our greens are extremely healthy, we just want to keep them that way.

Remember to pray for rain and have a good round!

This better develops the players and during the groups they will be asked at time to be mentors to the younger players and get the opportunity to be challenged by the older players/ball type.
