It's hard to believe it's already that time of year, but fall aeration of our greens is next week! Starting Monday, the front nine will be closed while we work on them and then the work will continue to the back nine on Tuesday. As always, the front nine will reopen Tuesday while we work on the back nine. On Wednesday, the entire course will be open for regular play. You will notice, however, the aerifier out on the course performing a final, small-tine, aeration. This portion of the project will have minimal impact on play and shouldn't affect putting quality.
Once the process is complete, we expect to be healed in and back to normal within 10-14 days. Aeration naturally softens the surface so ball marks will be an issue until we heal in and our surface firmness returns. During this time, do your fellow golfers a favor, and fix your ball marks!
As always, we appreciate your patience while we conduct this vital work to improving the quality of our putting greens. If you have any questions, please contact me at ccook@cityofowasso.com, or find me on the golf course. Thanks!
