Yesterday we aerified fairways. We did not pull soil cores. It was just a 3/4 inch solid tine. We are rolling the fairways today and will start mowing them later this afternoon. The greens are healing from aerification at a steady rate. It is day 9 since we aerified them. It usually take between 13-18 day for them to completely heal. The weather is the big factor in determining the how long it will take. For the greens, a heavy rain would really help the process speed up. I don't see a good chance of rain in the forecast until Monday.
Today marks the beginning of mobilization of equipment on # 8 for the upcoming restoration. Our golf course contractor is Total Turf and with golf course architect Brian Schneider from Renaissance Golf, they will be teaming up to open a new chapter in Llanerch's storied history.
