With the cooler temperatures we had lately, it’s safe to say the course is in recovery mode.<br />
Over the last month we have been doing what we can to help the course through the summer<br />
stress. The temperatures over the last week are really helping things perk up on the course.<br />

The golf course will engage in the following activities during the month of <strong>October</strong><br />
• Greens aerification is scheduled for the first week of <strong>October</strong>.<br />
• Tees and approaches will be aerify during the first week of <strong>October</strong><br />
• Fairway aerification and sand top dressing will follow during the second week of <strong>October</strong>.<br />
• Greens surround aerification will take place the last week of <strong>October</strong><br />
Each spring and fall golf courses all over the world aerify their greens, turning what was<br />
yesterday a great putting surface, into sand covered, bumpy and slow greens.<br />
The question is always “the greens were so good why did we punch them?”<br />
If we did not aerify the greens at least twice per year, we would notice a decline in the putting<br />
surface with in a few months. Aerification allow us to perform many tasks during a short<br />
period of time. It allows us to remove organic matter, add soil amendments, relieve soil<br />
compaction and smooth the putting surface.<br />
The greens at Moraga Country Club are considered by many to be some of the best greens<br />
around and we take pride in the product that we offer to our members.<br />
Should you have any questions regarding the golf course aerification, please feel free to<br />
contact me.<br />
