This morning, the grounds staff began venting the putting surfaces. This process occurs every 2-3 weeks throughout the summer to improve drainage, relieve compaction, and increase oxygen content in the soil profile. Venting allows us to maintain longer roots through the most stressful time of year. As you can see from the picture above, there is very little disruption to the surface and the greens are playable immediately after the process. As you play today and tomorrow, you may come across the machine. Please excuse us while we wrap up the project.
