Next week, weather permitting, we intend to aerate the greens with 12mm diameter solid tines and on greens 9,10&11 with 12mm hollow tines. We also plan to apply 40 tonnes of top dressing sand to the putting surfaces once the aeration has been completed.
Twelve days ago we had a trial run on the putting green so we could measure and monitor the recovery time. After the green was aerated, sanded and brushed, an application of liquid seaweed/farmyard manure and nitrogen was applied to the green to assist and accelerate the recovery period.
Below I have included some post operation pictures
