SUMMARY:Spring Aeration
DESCRIPTION:We will be performing solid tine aeration on our greens on Thursday, April 6th. Thank you for your understanding while we complete this beneficial and necessary maintenance to keep Wildwood in excellent shape for the upcoming season. We expect minimal interruption to play.\nSolid Tine Aeration: Everything you need to know\nfrom Golf.com\nCompared to core aeration, this is the quicker, less involved refresher for turf, but different courses do it at different times (using tines of different diameter and depth) depending on such factors as climate, maintenance budgets, grass variety and more…. The goal, (according to Jim Nedrow, director of agronomy at The Club at Indian Creek, in Elkhorn, Neb.), is to break through a layer of organic material known as the mat layer so that air and moisture can pass freely through the root zone.\n“It can get damp and humid down there and this definitely aids in drying things out,” Nedrow says. “But really what we’re trying to promote is positive air flow and oxygenate those roots.”\nSolid tine aeration is also known as “venting,” and for good reason. Nedrow likens those roots to a person trying to breathe through a plastic bag.\n“We’re basically punching holes in that bag so you can breathe again,” he says.\nThe practice, he says, has little to no negative effect on the quality of play. The opposite, in fact. “We get out there and roll the greens right after we tine,” he says, “and those putting surfaces are running as well or better than they ever do.\n
