Venting Greens

Monday and Tuesday we ventilated our Tif-Eagle Putting Greens.  Frequent venting creates small channels for water movement, air movement, and deeper rooting in the sub-surface of the greens.  Air and water movement are required for our Tif-Eagle Greens to remain healthy and provide a quality putting surface.  Below, see the detailed process of ventilating our Tif-Eagle Greens.

Above Ricardo operates the Toro 648 equipped with solid tines.

The results of the solid tine application provide channels for air and water movement within the soil profile.

Following the solid tine all of the greens are rolled to ensure a quality putting surface.
