Aerifying Collars

Over the years the collars have become raised and uneven along the green edges. This is due to topdressing the greens, sand builds at a fast rate compared to the greens and our goal this year is to reduce or eliminate the lips that have formed in some areas. One method that we are currently implementing is to aerify using a 1/4" or 1/2" hollow tine and watering and rolling behind. Any areas that are severe will have to be sod cut and re-graded.
