Question:"Is putting holes in the green, also known as aerating the course, important?"
Answer/Response:"Although it results in a temporary disruption of the greens, aeration improves water penetration into the soil, reduces soil compaction, stimulates turfgrass root growth for a healthier plant, helps control thatch buildup and improves overall growing conditions. Think of it like going to the dentist for your twice-yearly check-up. Aeration done once or twice per year will ensure long-term turf health."
