They don’t want to scare away golfers, and the associated revenue, aerating greens before June 1st on the Championship courses when they are charging full winter rates. I think they also don’t want to aerate during dry season, they wait until the months of the year that typically get the most rain. And lastly, snowbirds do share in the misery. The have to pay the highest green fees of the year, play during the shortest days of the year, when the courses are the most crowded, the rounds are the slowest, and when the conditions are typically the worst (January through mid March).
