Venting

Yesterday we began venting on the Maxwell course. This alleviates compaction and opens up soils to allow increased oxygen and water percolation into the soil. Greens and tees were completed yesterday as the course was closed to all golf for the day. The fairways are a longer process. Our goal is to complete them all by the end next week. Spiking or venting is done prior to mowing or rolling so any imperfections can be cleared up for immediate play.

This week will also be using wetting agents on the course. These agents increase the performance of water in the soil.
