That is a question that is asked every year when we finish with our greens aerification. It’s a great question. Aerification is disliked by almost all members and maintenance employees alike; and no one dislikes it more than the golf course superintendent (meaning me). We send the crew out to do a physically demanding job most golfers do not want to see, usually during the hottest time of the year (this year it was 98@ the first day and 100@ he second day). The equipment mechanic knows that his work load will triple trying to keep the mowers sharp as they mow in the sea of sand now covering the greens. Bed knives on the mowers last a matter of days instead of weeks. Here’s why we do it. We aerify because we all want healthy, firm greens with a good speed. On tees we aerify to relieve compaction and create air spaces in the root zone. Aerifying a USGA constructed green (which is a sand based root zone and underlying gravel drainage system) is done mainly to remove thatch with the benefit of relieving compaction. By core aerification we are able to keep thatch at a manageable level. If aerification was not performed, the surface of the green would become “soft and puffy” and maintaining the low heights needed for quality greens would result in scalping the turf. The end result would be poor quality greens. As you know, we now only core aerify once annually. We try to keep the disruption to a minimum while achieving the amount of thatch removal necessary for the future health of our greens. It may seem like aerification consumes the summer, but it is a short 2 to 3 week interruption to ensure healthy greens for the other 50 weeks (or 49).

No rain, just hot days on the court. We got through two months of camp. Many of our juniors played baseball well into July with great success. They played tournaments when they got a chance. And the tournaments they played were some of the biggest in the south. We had CCC members playing in the Qualifying Tournament. Jack Schondelmayer finished fifth in Georgia and eighth at Southerns. Mary Weston Courville played well at a Southern Level 3 winning the backdraw. She also won the Challenger in Rome, GA. Grace Hemmings came in 3rd at our Georgia Clay Court Tournament and finals of doubles. Lily Norred won a level 4 in Macon. CCC has a ten and under team that went to state this past month. Our junior players keep moving forward! CCC had three mixed teams in June and also fielded 4 combo teams in July. Hal Casion’s 8.0 mixed team is headed to State in Augusta the second weekend in August!! So the question is. . . who wants to play USTA league in the Fall? We want to carry over our successful summer into the upcoming season. Let’s start forming our teams now. It would be great to have a 2.5 ladies team this fall. Season begins September 6. Club Championships are starting on August 11. Please call 706-323-9116 or email Jaclyn at [email protected]. We hope to have a great week of tennis.

Diego and Jaclyn are looking forward to working with you this school year! “The 10 Commandments of Match Play” The Second Commandment: Thou shalt maximize your finest strengths. If your forehand is greater than your opponent’s forehand, then seek to engage in forehand-to-forehand combat. Look to dictate points with your forehand by using not only the cross-court pattern, but the inside-out pattern, as well as the inside-in forehand pattern. The key is to identify what you do better than your opponent and then choose your patterns based on facts.
