On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, we completed the venting of our greens. This is a cultural practice we do to improve the air and water movement under the surface. There is little effect to play once we mow and roll the green right after the venting is complete. The same machine that we aerify greens with in the spring and fall is used, but a different type of tine is used. These tines look more like a knife, and do not pull any material out of the green. The tines go about two and a half inches deep. Completing this cultural practice once every three to four weeks will help with the long term success of the greens especially in July and August.
