Default Fact of Life

Greens aeration is a fact of life for golf courses............Twice year in the north, spring and fall when grass is growing and 3 times a year in the south when greens are growing..pretty simple equation.........you do them all at once otherwise folks will only want to play the one that wasn't done..........not smart

That being said, when you play aerated sanded greens you need to take an automatic 2 putt.............having 9 three puts due to bumpy sand is insane...........
and your padding your handicap

If your gambling on aerated sanded greens you are delusional.........

Just try to make the first putt and then pick-up.......your sanity will be saved and you can get back to normal once the greens recover........just fact of life
