Golf Rough Aeration

Aeration of the semi-rough, primarily with the use of slit tines as these can often cover the ground quite speedily, might be carried out occasionally, possibly in the early spring and then again in the early autumn. Other tines and aeration equipment can obviously be considered as well.

Grounds maintenance vehicular traffic as well as golfers will not be using much of the semi-rough, but most likely localised areas that are used for short cuts or commonly areas for mishit shots. These localised area of use and wear will be those that are targeted for more intensive and frequent aeration, with the use of solid tines and decompaction equipment most likely being used.

Some semi-rough areas will be located between greens and tees and also tees and fairways, although often there will be shorter mown traffic routes through the semi-rough, so it will primarily be these dedicated routes that will require additional aeration and decompaction work.
