The Secret of Professional Golf Course Care

It’s no accident that golf course lawns and turfs look wonderful year around. The big secret is regular aeration:That's right, golf course turfs are aerated twice each year.

Professional turf managers and groundskeepers know the benefits of regular aeration, one of which is the major savings on water costs. The small holes produced by aeration allows water to go directly to the root system. This eliminates costly water runoff.

The holes also provide direct entry for fertilizers and nutrients, getting their full strengths to where they’re needed most—–the root system.

Aeration is a simple procedure. Professional, state-of-the art machines are moved over the lawn surface, punching holes and removing plugs of grass and soil. This action stimulates root growth, increases the amount of oxygen to the turf, and expedites and efficiently manages the even distribution of water and fertilizer over the entire lawn area.
