Trialing the hollow-tining on the par 3 today as the weekends Club Championship prevents us setting up the machine on the main greens.  We are beginning on the front nine Monday morning at 5 am (yes that's 5 am),  Hollow tined to a depth of 3 inches, cores pushed into rows as you can see from the picture below. Collected behind with snow shovels and debris blown off.  Followed up with heavy dressing of around  a ton and a half.  Brushed, dragmat, rolled and watered.   

  In spite of the weather course set up finished for the Club Championship, having it so late in the year means good greens, but fairways and lots of turf areas looking tired.  Perhaps the end of July next year would be a better date?
