I know this might not interest many of you but this is really exciting to the Turf guys. The deep tine aerification (10 to 12 inch depth) helped loosen up the subsurface of the greens. This process shattered the subsurface of the greens which allows for better air and water infiltration. This process also breaks the hard pan layer that is created from normal aerification to a 6 inch depth. This sample was taken out of the newly sodded area in front of ten green. The removal of the trees to the right of ten green was also a huge help as well.
