| Verticutting, or dethatching, the turf in two opposite directions is the first step. |
Day two was a big success. We finished in great time and even had some time at the end to tackle some miscellaneous items around the course. It's been a while since I've detailed the entire aeration process so I thought I would show a step by step method of how we get from start to finish. If you have any further questions about how or why we do this, please let me know. Thanks!

| A lot of thatch is removed during the verticut process that needs to be cleaned off. |
 |
| After the verticutting, the green is very shaggy and needs to be mowed. |
 |
| This machine pulls the cores out at a specific depth, spacing and diameter |
 |
| The cores are then pushed off to the side and removed. |
 |
| Any additional debris is blown off before sand can be applied. |
 |
| This machine applies the sand at a specific depth so that all holes can be filled |
 |
| Once the sand is dry, it is brushed into the holes and watered in. |
 |
After the sand is dry, the excess is blown off and the cup is set. |
 |
| The final step is to roll out any tire marks or footprints to ensure a smooth surface. |
