Until today, I would have said Tierra. However, today, 20 days after aeration they absolutely sucked. Slow, bumpy, putts would not track and very hard to reach the hole. I'm sure they will recover just in time for the next aeration in 1 week or 2, and then again a month after that. I'm not stating that greens don't need aeration---but June, July, then August? Have never seen that anywhere. Perhaps late March, July and early October would be better, at least then some of the snowbirds could share in the joy
