This week we have hollow cored all the greens with mini tines in a close pattern to remove thatch from the soil profile.This will aid water and nutrient intake, improve root growth, relieve compaction and stimulate the soil micro organisms.The conditions to undertake this work were ideal,with the soil moist  but the surface dry  allowing good core removal,with little turf disturbance and a dry surface making core collection easier.The operation took four staff,one driving the tractor and aercore machine,three core collecting into gators and then mowing the green  twice to put the green back into play

                                           All finished and greens in play after nearly 2 days
