Aerification coming and reasons #127 and 128

August 15th is here, turf managers in the north sigh relief that they have put another season in the books! We now look toward the next round of hectic turf management.....aerification time!
After Labor Day we will begin to aerify tees and fairways, please be sure to bring out some guests before we begin this practice.
Now, the cottonwoods are dropping leaves already! These nasty weeds just finished raining down their snow-like seeds! The seeds are so plentiful, take a look at this rock border of the flower bed, all tiny cottonwood seedlings, yuck!
I declare this week "cottonwoods are ugly weeds week!"
T-shirts and bumper stickers will be available in the proshop,
