Everybody's favorite time of the year....... Aerification !

After 3 weeks of fun we are finally finished with Green, Tee and Fairway aerification. We also verticut the approaches. The GMS crew did an outstanding job as usual, but getting greens done in two days with a smaller crew than usual but with the same high quality was pretty awesome. Getting it done before the rains hit was an added bonus. We would like to thank our "jefe grande" Bill Nauroth for coming down and helping us out during the greens portion of aerification.
