Nevertheless, aerification is the primary project on tap for the summer. The process involves punching holes into the turf sur- face to remove thatch and organic matter so as to allow some of the macro air spaces to be opened up for air, water and fertilizers. "This also assists in drainage, to a certain degree, and is ultimately done for the im- proved qualities of the turf grass plants," says Conlan. "It takes a long time to do all of the areas and that's why the courses close, as to not interfere with play. Plus, once we disrupt the surface, it needs time to heal, especially the greens." Golfers benefit from the summer work in that the courses wind up in ideal condition for prime season play. "If we did little to nothing in the summer, then it would only be a matter of time be- fore the quality of the courses declined," says Conlan. "That's the main reason we do all of our work every summer." .................................................................... > COURSE CLOSURE DATES: The Celebrity Course will be closed from June 13-June 30, and July 25-August 11.
