Pencil tining

Today we pencil tined all of our greens. In this process we remove a small core from the greens using our tractor mounted hollow corer. There are many benefits to this process, it relieves soil compaction, creates more air space in the soil and controls organic matter. The next step is to top dress the greens with new sand, filling in all the holes. As we chose only to take a small core, we expect the greens to recover quickly.
