"We're in really good shape after our summer clo- sure," said Director of Agronomy Tony Spannaus. "We got through aerification and everything healed in very nicely. The greens, tees, fairways and roughs are in top condition." The aerification process helps improve the soil and turf in many ways, Spannaus added, and is one of the maintenance practices at Classic Club that help keep the golf course in Tour-like condition. The process eliminates the accumulation of thatch, allowing better water infiltration and much- needed oxygen into the soil. "This is all about building a better soil profile which in turn, makes a stronger, healthier plant and thicker stand of turf," Spannaus said. Aside from aerification, other maintenance on the course this summer included sod work and improving drainage in several areas to help maintain the stellar conditions that Classic Club is known for. Golfers should take advantage of the verdant fairways and greens now, Spannaus said, as Classic Club will soon begin overseeding to get the course ready for winter. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . > CLICK HERE to book a tee time at Classic Club.
