Classic Club plans summer closure for
aerification and maintenance projects
I
t takes a lot of hard work to maintain the pristine
playing conditions golfers experience at Classic Club.
And the time is drawing near when a big part of that
work will be taking place.
With that in mind, the golf course is set to close from
July 11-September 1 for summer aerification and additional
maintenance work. During this time, the agronomy team
will be aerifying all surfaces, including greens, tees,
fairways and roughs.
"Summer aerification is crucial to year-round conditions
being the best they can be," said Director of Agronomy
Tony Spannaus.
Aerification allows trapped gasses in the soil to escape
and oxygen to get in, he said. It also allows for better water
infiltration into the soil and promotes new root growth,
increasing the surface area of fresh root hairs.
"All this allows the Bermuda base to be healthier and
stronger year-around, which in turn leads to a better
overseed of our winter rye grass," Spannaus said, adding
that the course will be ready to go when it reopens on
September 2 with no cart path restrictions.
The course will definitely look spruced up, too, as the
team will be enhancing landscaping areas with new bark
mulch, plants and flowers.
