Early Fall is the Season for Greens Aerification 
The earlier you get it done the quicker it heals and it's vital for your turfs health.   Yes, it's disruptive to your schedule, but so is going to the gym or doctor and as my old gym teacher used to yell when it was getting tough, no pain, no gain! 

Here is another interesting fact about aerification, while putting on an aerified green feels like golfs version of plinko, in actuality, if the aerification is completed properly with the holes filled, there is very look impact on the way your ball roles.

To view a video on the vital process and develop a greater understanding.

DDN Golf Column Done for the Season
We all enjoy the golf column Bucky Albers he has been writing for many decades.  However, with the Football Season upon us, the Dayton Daily News, as in the past few years has decided to suspend the column, hopefully with it's return next Spring. 

For those Bucky fans needing a fix until then, he will become a regular contributor to this email.

Yeah!

MVTI IS SEPTEMBER 26TH AT SYCAMORE CREEK CC
Founded by David McSemek and his firm at the time, Smith Barney in 1994, the events purpose was to have a year end competition in which Miami Valley Area Clubs would send eight of their best players to determine who had the best playing club for that Season.  The "MVTI" is now over a quarter century old and hosting the coveted James C "Skip" Snow Silver Trophy donated by Deloitte & Touche is high on every clubs priority list.
