Spiking the greens

This week we spiked the greens with 1/2 inch tines to a depth of approximately 3 inches using a  Procore 880. No top dessing was added afterwards, but the greens were rolled with the turf-iron.
With constantly wet weather at the moment and warm temperatures (10-15 degrees Celsius), we have been experiencing a high incidence of Microdochium nivale (fusarium patch) putting the turf under extra strain. Hopefully this cultural practice will encourage stronger growth and also disease resistance.
