Yesterday we aerified the front nine greens and practice green with solid tines. We then top-dressed to fill the holes. This process is much less disruptive than when we pull plugs, not only for the greens but for your putting. The greens that have been aerified and top-dressed should heal in about 10-14 days and even while they are healing, they really shouldn't disrupt your game too much. Tomorrow we will finish the back nine greens and then fertilize them to help the healing process along.
This is how small the holes are right after we aerified.
We then topdressed the greens.
And then dragged the sand into the holes. As you can see, they are small and filled in, so the surface is still smooth and shouldn't affect the roll of putts.
Soon the holes will be filled in and the greens will be firmer and healthier because of this process.
