Verti-Drain

2010 Verti-Drain

St. Clair Membership,

The staff and I will be starting the verti-drain process on Monday, March 8th. Depending on the weather, the process could be moved to the following Monday. Deep tine aerification is very essential for the seasonal health of the greens. We will add 80 tons of sand to the subsurface of the greens. The sand is drug and swept into ¾ inch holes that range from 8-10 inches deep which helps with air transfer, drainage and it keeps the greens from creating a thatch layer below the surface. Again, this procedure is vital to the green’s yearly health and the holes will heal with a little time. Please check the St. Clair blog later for further details and course conditions.

Thank you for your continued support.

Jeremy Klotz
Superintendent
