With the weather being significantly less than ideal, we will not be able to aerify the greens this week as was originally planned. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate with us next Monday, April 25th. Currently the forecast doesn't look good for next week either, but it's a long way off and we all know that forecasts have a tendency to change.
What's the reason that we need a nice day for aerifying? The biggest thing that we need is dry weather, and some sun helps too. We are going to be pulling cores from the greens, and if they get wet or stay wet after they are pulled, the dirt turns into mud and gets smeared on the greens as we are picking them up. Also, we can not spread sand to fill the holes in wet conditions. The sand that we spread is wet, and needs the sun to dry it out so that it can be moved around easily on the greens to fill in the holes.
I will post up any updates on the aerification schedule. In the meantime, think about sunny and warm weather, and be glad that it didn't snow in Homewood.
