PAT SHAY, COURSE SUPERINTENDENT>> Hi, my names Pat Shay and I'm the Thousand Hills Golf Course
Superintendent in Branson Missouri.
Today the maintenance crew is using a high pressure injection aerifier that is going
to allow us to increase the airflow through the soil structure of the green. This is going
to allow us to get more, increase air down in the root zone to make a healthier green.
The benefit to this particular aerifier is that we can do this at any point of time in
the year. It can be 100 degrees, it can be 5 degrees but we can do it at any point of
time in the year and it's not disruptive.
Everybody thinks aerification is a bad thing but this particular aerifier will leave a
product that is 100% puttable immediately after the green is aerified allowing the players
to not really even notice any kind of disruption at all on the surface of the green; while
still giving us the benefits of aerificaiton.
