Fairway Aerification
The staff is currently aerifying fairways and we hope to have the task completed as soon as weather permits. Aerification relieves compaction (particularly important with the heavy clay soils at MCC), encourages root growth and allows for beneficial gas exchange with the atmosphere. Poa annua will never achieve the same root mass that creeping bentgrass sports but aerifying will help the turf through the hotter summer months. This will also help the areas on fairways that were damaged over the winter that the staff intends to start seeding soon. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes and appreciate the memberships patience.
