Started Some Seeding

We have started to over seed areas in the fairways that thinned due to the hot and wet summer weather.  We hope to be finished with the fairways areas today, then start on the areas in the rough that were damaged by summer patch.

The first step is using an aerator with solid tines to poke shallow holes into the soil to create more soil surface area for the seed to contact.

We are then running our seeder over the area.  This seeded cuts shallow channels into the soil, then drops the seed into those channels.  It will likely be 2 weeks before we will see noticeable seed coming into these areas.

The fairways were also fertilized yesterday to aid with the recovery process as well.
