Aeration work/a breath of fresh air

 We have started our major aeration work to the Craighead greens, which I know we won't be popular with the members but this is a must to reduce thatch levels, help drainage and firm up the putting surfaces and improve plant health and produce better greens for the future
 first off we hollow cored to a depth of 3" with a 16mm tine then cleaned up
 a single pass with the scarifying units at a depth of 18mm with a 2mm blade
 blow and clean up all the debris
 double verti-cut then cut to clean up the surfaces

 all the cores etc taken out of the greens will be all re used on our drainage line to fill in low areas and level off areas a round the new man holes
