En artículos anteriores hemos hablado sobre qué es el pinchado de greens, las razones por las que se realiza y sus ventajas e inconvenientes. A partir de este post profundizaremos en las distintas opciones que tenemos y cómo se llevan a cabo los distintos tipos de pinchado de greens. AERATION IN GOLf COURSES - PART III In previous articles, we've talked about what green aerification is, why it's done, and its advantages and disadvantages. Starting from this post, we'll delve into the different options available and how the various types of green aerification are carried out. Traditionally, green aerification is done twice a year using hollow tines, employing different diameters, with one of the most common being half an inch. This type of aerification is usually done just before significant temperature and/or weather changes. In Spain, it's common after summer and winter, while in tropical areas, it's typical to focus on doing it before the rainy season and once the rainy season is over. But in recent years, due to the technical possibility of using much finer tines, we have the option to opt for what we call micro-aerification, which involves aeration using small-diameter hollow tines. However, with this "micro" aerification, multiple aerations with small hollow tines need to be performed to achieve a similar effect. We can basically distinguish between two types of tines: solid and hollow. Depending on our objectives (or the golf course's capabilities), we plan a program where we "play" with different variables to consider, such as the type of tine, tine diameter, tine length, and the frequency of aerification. Aeration with solid or solid-core tines: Solid tines 18x250 mm The first question to ask ourselves would be whether aeration with solid tines is a viable option, and the answer, as almost always, is "it depends." The solution to managing organic matter content is its dilution. If a sufficient amount of sand can be added with topdressing and used to fill the aeration holes made with solid tines, programs with solid tines could be a viable option (Gross, 2019). However, there are several factors to consider, including soil conditions. In principle, we would all desire this type of program because aeration is less disruptive and requires less work than aeration with hollow tines. However, since aeration with solid tines doesn't remove any material from the soil profile, it won't yield desirable results in golf courses that don't regularly apply topdressing or need to address soil issues such as high organic matter content or stratification. A normal green compared to one that has undergone solid tine aerification. Solid tines 19x140x8mm Therefore, these programs would be more suitable for sand-based green profiles without stratification issues. Moreover, with this type of program, it's crucial for sand topdressing to be applied frequently to dilute organic matter as it accumulates near the surface. Golf courses adopting this program typically topdress with sand every week during the growing season and implement a minimalist nitrogen fertility program to curb excessive growth and reduce the organic matter production rate. The image above shows a green aerated with solid tines and without sand, serving to "ventilate" the green. However, if the decision is made to apply sand, there's a noteworthy operational variation with this type of aerification. It has been demonstrated that applying the sand to the green before solid tine aerification yields better results, minimizing the "stress" on the green. This is because if the sand is dry, it requires less brushing than if the sand is applied afterward. Less brushing equals less stress on the turf. Additionally, it avoids introducing a heavy machine filled with sand onto a freshly aerated surface, preventing wheel marks on the green's surface, which would otherwise hinder subsequent sand brushing. Application of sand (Topdressing) before carrying out solid tine aerification. Looking forward to the next post where we'll delve into the dreaded hollow tine aerification!

GREEN CUTTING IN GOLF COURSES Since the day Edwin Budding invented the first mechanized lawn mower in 1830, there has been constant improvement in the condition and playability of greens. Today, cutting is one of the main practices used by superintendents or greenkeepers to achieve smooth and fast greens. Césped Paspalum Vaginatum Given the climatic conditions of the Dominican Republic, the task of cutting the green is carried out daily. Frequent mowing helps greenkeepers maintain high playability turf by providing several short- and long-term benefits: controls vertical growth helps grass spread laterally promotes high shoot density produces smooth surfaces creates less friction with the golf ball increases the speed of the greens for the enjoyment of the players. Cortadora Toro Greenmaster Flex 21 On the other hand, properly sharpened and adjusted mowers do a better job of cutting grass blades cleanly and evenly. This benefits the health of the turf and the quality of the playing surface. The operator guides the mower back and forth across the green in straight lines, creating an attractive stripe pattern. Alberto Santana con una cortadora Toro Greenmaster Flex 21 Another basic concept of mowing greens is determining the height of cut. This setting is completely particular to the course and is determined by the superintendent based on turf type, topography of the greens, seasonal growth rate, and desired speed of the greens. What may be appropriate in one field may not be in another. A very important point, which is often misunderstood, is that not all grasses are created equal. A cutting height that is considered appropriate for bentgrass (Agrostis) might not be appropriate for Poa annua, Bermuda ultradwarf, or Paspalum, as is the case here. Determining the height of cut depends not only on the type of grass, but also on equipment, expectations, and labor availability. All grasses have a cutting height tolerance. It is typical for the height of cut to adjust up and down throughout the year based on seasonal growth rates and in response to stressful environmental conditions. Proper mower setup is necessary to achieve the desired cutting height and playability. Proper adjustment is critical to producing a correct cut, higher quality greens, and desired green speed.

Climate change also have an effect on golf courses Apart from the usual maintenance tasks on a golf course, many sometimes forget that, like any other agricultural crop, we are subject to inclement weather. La Niña , for example, could last until 2023, warns the UN . This phenomenon, which is lasting longer than expected, is causing abundant rainfall in Panama, already abundant at this time of year, as can be seen in the following map: Not only is the player's playability affected, golf course flooding can cause serious damage that leaves a lasting impact on its terrain. Flooding conditions severely impair daily maintenance and access to many areas of a golf course by cutting machines. Soil saturation occurs over long periods leading to oxygen deprivation and turf death in areas without adequate drainage. In severe situations, soil removal and turf restoration may be necessary to remedy affected areas. Beyond the damage caused by flooding, deposits of silt, branches and debris impede routine maintenance. Flooding can also damage golf course structures by washing away bridges. Last week we suffered the consequences of climate change at Coronado Golf, as can be seen in the photos below: Bunkers are especially susceptible to erosion, collapsing their slopes and contaminating the sand. Repairs can take days, weeks, or even months to complete and can also be very costly. If a golf course reopens too soon after flooding, the chance of secondary damage increases. Saturated turf areas can become compacted and rutted by cart and player traffic. Compacted soil in moist areas can lose its structure, porosity, and the ability to present a high-quality surface. But there is nothing that a professional team with good will cannot solve!
