Today we aerated our greens at Aberdeen Glen with solid tines. Aeration helps the turf by allowing water and air to more easily penetrate the surface down into the soil. It also helps to decrease any compaction that may be present. It has been in the 30's for most of the summer, so this aeration will definitely help the greens get some water to the roots in this hot, dry weather.

| We use a John Deere Aercore 800 aerator |
 |
| The solid tines that we used were cross tines |
The process we underwent during this aeration was as follows:
1) Aerate with solid tines
2) Seed any thin areas on the greens
3) Laid down a medium topdress
4) Brush in sand and seed into the green
