Has anyone besides me noticed that a few years ago, every green was closed at least once a season for aerification. That really helps the longevity of the greens. I haven't seen any in the last three or more years. Wonder why ? $$$

Course conditions are going bad early this year. Wait till the middle of March, when they really slide downhill.

An aeration schedule for the executive course greens is put out every summer. IIRC, every executive gets aerated twice during the summer. The schedule is useful so you can avoid the recently aerated greens for the 2-3 weeks it takes for them to recover. This has been going on for some time.
