Monday

 
Tees are being aerified this morning and fertilized.  Fall fertilization is the most important application on cool season turf.  The idea is to increase carbohydrate reserves in the plant and push root growth.  While the air temps are cool, the soil temps are still warm leading to good root growth and less top growth.  Turf fertilized adequately in the fall will respond much quicker in the spring.
 
This 18-0-18 fertilizer has become a staple in our program for greens and tees.


Tees are aerified with 3/4" tines at a 2" x 2" spacing.
 
 
Ballwashers are also being drained.  At $200 each, I would hate for any to freeze and break.
