Aeration Still On...for now

We've had over 10" of rain at the office since August started.  The course was unplayable at 8:00 Sunday morning and it was still raining.  Aeration is set to begin at 6 AM today (Monday Aug 17) and we know it's going to be a messy process this time.  We have a pretty good forecast, but the ground is absolutely saturated.  There will be some collateral damage around the greens from the equipment used to do the work, but the golf calendar doesn't offer us a lot of leeway to reschedule.  The temperatures are unusually mild so we feel like the best plan is to take our lumps with some self inflicted damage in an effort to get the job done.  It's still too wet to mow any fairways, tees, or rough so we might as well use the time to get the greens aerated as scheduled.  Additionally, we have a few more people on staff now than we will have next week and beyond.  We need as many hands as possible to complete the task in the window we have been given so now is the best time from that standpoint as well.  

Having said all of this....if we get started and realize it just won't work, we will punt to another date that has not yet been determined.
