Coursework week 2

In the last two weeks of February we carried out some cultural practices on all the greens and aprons. 
The procedure was as follows:
1. Bi-directional verti-cutting with a Toro triplex with boxes fitted and clearing any remnants with backpack blowers
2. Hollow-coring with a Toro Procore
3. Picking up cores with a Jacobsen core-harvester fitted to a John Deere pro-gator and clearing any remnants with snow shovels and backpack blowers again
4. Verti-drain with 4mm solid tines
5.  Rolling the greens with a turf iron
6. Top dress with kiln dried sand
7. Drag the top dressing in with trailer mounted brushes
8. Brush  topdressing in further with a Toro triplex with fitted brushes
