Greens Aeration

Next week (Monday 20^th June) we will be aerating some of the greens on Murrayfield, again concentrating on the greens that still have excessive thatch levels, as these greens are now starting to show signs of grass plant stress.

From the distance everything looks good

Plant stress - 17th green

The greens will be aerated with slim 8mm diameter tines to a depth of 100mm, then cut and rolled to help restore surface levels and trueness.

Finally, the greens will receive an application of Nitrogen, Potash and Dolomitic lime to promote growth and aid recovery.
