Hawk Greens Aeration June 6th
Monday June 6th the Hawk golf course will be closed for putting green aeration.
The original date of the scheduled Hawk golf course greens aeration was Monday May 23rd. However due to a late start because of snow we moved the aeration date to Monday June 6th.
Soil tests that are performed a few weeks prior to the scheduled aeration provide soil physical property data that enables us to track the aging process of the putting greens and helps us to develop specific parameters for aeration strategies.
Last season we experimented with non invasive solid tine aeration on the putting greens. Playability following the 2010 aeration process was improved and the time it takes to heal from aeration was quicker than normal. The information from soil test results show that with the exception of increased compaction on a few greens the solid tine aeration worked well.
Based on the results of the soil tests, we will be once again performing a relatively non invasive type of solid tine greens aeration. However, there will be 6 greens in total (1-5 and 15 ) that require a small hollow tine used during aeration because these greens show more compaction than others.
