Aerating Progressing Slowly

The annual spring aeration began yesterday and progress has been going very slowly. In a good year, when the weather is warm and dry, the program usually can be finished by early tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately with the cool temperatures yesterday and the cool showers today, the crew are having trouble getting work done.

The big issue with the showers is that the sand that has to be worked into the aeration holes is too wet and it clumps up. Once the sand is dry it can be worked into the holes much easier.

We are waiting to see what happens with the weather this afternoon to determine our next course of action.
