Well, I think it is safe to say that we NAILED IT! The weather was perfect, nothing broke down during the process, we were able to pull a great plug and the sand went down into the holes beautifully. It feels great to be DONE and after a string of long days, I know the greens crew feels the same way although everyone's got a smile on their face now. We are excited to get the greens healed up and start conditioning them for the 2014 golf season. Here are a few snapshots that I was able to capture of the process, enjoy!

| Putting green getting aerified on Sunday afternoon, only 22 more greens to go! |
 |
Our aerifers have a bar placed behind the tines which collects the cores into
windrows, making clean up much easier.
 |
Here, you can see the sand beginning to dry (light colored sand) and the
dark colored sand (wet sand) is slowly disappearing. This means it is
almost ready for bushing, blowing and brooming into the holes.
Derek brushing in the sand. We followed behind with push brooms and
backpack blowers to finish it off. |

 |
After brushing we gave the greens a healthy drink of water to help the
sand settle into the holes. |
 |
Here is #1 green at about 6:30 PM on Monday afternoon after brushing
and watering in the sand. Looks pretty good! |
