The GREEN grass is just starting to POP in this area of the midwest!  Our greens were aerated on a Tuesday, and luckily.....heavy rains followed.  The greens are recovering FAST....below is less than a week recovery time.


yea, they're still pretty rough with sand still present, but in great shape considering they just went though spring aeration along with a heavy dose of sand top-dressing just a few days before!!   C'mon warm weather!!!!!!!  grow grass grow!!      I am shocked how well the greens are rolling right now with all things considered!!    I've definitely seen WORSE!!!!.......within a week of aeration!!

PS...that was my birdie putt on #1.........I missed.  LOL

Same over here as well! I played just after the greens were treated and it was really hard to judge the pace with all the sand on them!

My home course changed their aeration method and no long punch the gigantic holes while covering with dump truck loads of sand.   The holes are much smaller and the levels of sand is less.

This is 7 days after aeration...........

yes.........a bit choppy and rough, but I think the above is amazing for only 7 days recovery!!

This is what the greens look like during prime season, so YES.....we still have a ways to go!!!  LOL

I am looking forward to the above putting surfaces to be sure!!!!!!!

Either that is a very generous filter or you have a great golf course to play. Congrats!

We are about 3 weeks post punch. Greens are almost perfect again. They have about 7 weeks until the PGA northwest Arkansas open is here.

Definitely no photo-chopping needed!!

I showed the 18th par5 green in summer condition...............this is the 18th fairway that same day!  This is the approach view after a good drive...if you want to go for the green in 2 after a good drive...this is the view. The fairways are amazing/pristine................

The grasses are amazing..............................

I haven't been able to play yet.  I usually get a couple rounds in during March.  But I'm not one to rush out at the first warm day, because conditions will suck, and it will be too soft and gross.  I'M GETTING ANCY HERE, AND I'M GOING TO TAKE IT OUT ON SOME OF YOU IF I DON'T PLAY SOON.

  • 3 weeks later...

Wow..wow..wow!   It's still just early enough that the sight of green grass excites me!  LOL

3 weeks post aeration, and the greens are looking MINT!!!!!!!!!!!   They aren't up to summer speed yet, but they're rolling well!!  I took this pic yesterday..............

If you miss a putt, it's not the greens fault! LOL..........the rough has filled in and is ultra lush.  It's a problem in areas where it hasn't been freshly cut.  (deep hack-out potential)

Our greens still suck. It's been several weeks and I can still see holes with quite a bit of sand on them. Enough that I can see a sand splash if I hit the green.

    • I'll be honest, the only reason the 2 iron was in my bag is because I tend to hit the ball into the tree's fairly often. And I was using it to help me keep the ball very low to get out of the tree's while avoiding getting much loft to hit branches. I guess I can drop the 3H as well. Would it be wise to give a higher loft fairway wood a try as well, something like a 26 degree? I believe there is only one golf shop where I live that has a golf simulator and trainer. I see they offer free fitting with a purchase from the fitter. I'll have to check how much they charge without a purchase, I've read a few stories about fitters on this forum that just wanted to sell the person the most expensive clubs and that kind of deters me a bit. They do offer lessons as well. I'll give them a call and ask them a bit more about these services. Thank you!
    • Here is a description of all the programs:  Programs & Training Programs and Training TheStack is a personal swing-speed trainer for golfers. Initially, each golfer is piloted through a series of swing speed tests to generate a force-velocity profile of their current swing. Qualitative data is... I think cruiser is meant for maintaining speed and flex can do more than that. But I'm just basing that on the descriptions that I linked.  
    • Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

    • I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
