Aeration of Putting Greens
Although there is schedule published when the putting greens are to be aerated, which can vary due to circumstance, afterwards the greens are often unplayable depending upon the type of dressing applied or the depth of the aeration.
Paying full price, or any price for that matter, to play on unplayable greens is wrong. After greens are aerated the course should be shut down to play for a reasonable amount of time, at least a week, to allow the greens to heal and be playable. I have suggested this several times via many methods and have never received a reply and obviously no action. Any suggestion from those who agree would be appreciated and followed through. |

And one could play the course and the conditions knowing that their playing partners are doing the same. We compete against others and we are challenged by the course. And I am jealous. After forty years of golf that sometimes made me smile and sometimes made me swear, I can't anymore.

It's ALL about MONEY, if they close down then they will see none of it.

We all have a choice to either play the courses that have not been aerated in the past two weeks or to pay the full fee and play ones that have been. Our choice. Easy decision.

I kind of like playing on punched greens…it gives me a built in excuse for putting badly.

Do one half of the green at a time, put the pin on the other half.

You are absolutely right. Either shut down play for a week or charge a reduced rate. It seems that the courses here are aerated 4 times a year.

Sorry, the courses are done twice a year with the exception of TDS, three times of the year because of the grass they are using on the greens.
