inches deep and 5/8” in diameter.

The benefits of this project were two-fold. Number one we were able to remove thatch build up that will keep the fairways from being so spongy and grainy. Number two it will help with
drainage by removing a lot of clay material and creating channels for the water to get into the
soil profile. Aeration in conjunction with a heavier verti-cutting schedule next year will help to
improve ball roll in the fairways and hopefully let us enjoy more days with the carts off the path.
