Light
Aerification on Greens at Nicklaus Course
This coming Monday and Tuesday, February 25th
& 26th, the Nicklaus Course will be closed to perform a light
aerification to the greens. Also known
as venting or needle tinning, the greens will be aerified using a .25” solid
tine, followed by a light topdressing, mowing, and rolling. There should be minimal disruption and play
should not be adversely affected. Solid
tines do not bring soil to the surface like a conventional coring tine and
cleanup is minimal. The purpose of
“venting” is to help with moisture management, soil compaction, and gas
exchange in the soil profile to help promote a stronger/healthier root system
for the upcoming season.
