Aerification was a success!

Aerification was a success!! We had a couple of minor equipment issues, but the results were great.  A couple of members have let us know that the greens are rolling great, especially, this soon after the aerification.  This is a frustrating, but necessary process.  Aerification helps to remove unwanted organic material and allows us to create new channels of sand for water, oxygen and nutrients.  This helps us get through the season with consistent, healthy putting surfaces.  


On another note, both happy and sad, Chad Karr will be leaving us at the end of next week.  He has accepted the Superintendent position Hermitage Country Club and will be overseeing the Manakin course during his tenure.  Chad has been with us for the last three years and we wouldn't be the course we are now without him.  I truly appreciate everything that he has done and his absence will not go unnoticed.  If you see Chad this weekend or next week, make sure to wish him luck on his next adventure.  I know that he will make a great Superintendent.

  2. Chad, Thank you for all that you have done at Magnolia Green. Sorry to see you go but wish you the best at Hermitage. Our loss is definitely their gain. Come back and see us.
