GOLF COURSE AERATION - JULY 16TH-19TH The greens, tees, approaches, and fairways will be aerated, verticut, and topdressed from Monday, July 16 th to Thursday the 19th. The golf course will be closed these four days and will reopen Friday, July 20 th . Tee times will be available during the closure at The Golf Club of Georgia for HBCC members for a cart fee of $25 per person. Tee times may be booked through the HBCC golf shop, at least five days in advance. Aerification is our most important cultural practice each year, and aids in water, nutrient, and air infiltration to the soil, as well as physically removing the thatch layer that forms just below the surface. As we first determined last year, it is advantageous for both members and the Course Maintenance department to aerate all areas in one week rather than spread out through the summer. With some help from Mother Nature, recovery time should be two to three weeks.
