We are currently undergoing the process of using a solid tine to poke a hole into the fairways. As I have mentioned before this is very similar to the greens venting program but on a bigger scale. We use 3/4 inch tines on a 1 inch spacing to allow the fairways to breath and dry out and is very beneficial in low lying areas. In these areas we have developed thinning turf do in large part by the wet conditions from all of the previous rain we have received during the latest tournaments. This process is simply getting air to the roots for a healthier plant which reverses the compacted and oxygen deprived root zone and is most importantly golfer friendly.
