Why Aerify The Greens Again?

Golfers are asking me why we are aerifying the greens again next Monday, May 13th. After all, we just aerified them last month. The answer is that the greens were too soft last year. Aerification and sand topdressing is one of my best tools for firming up the greens for the upcoming season. Firmer greens lead to greens that are smoother, healthier and more consistant than softer greens.
