Aerification and Water Repellency

This picture is of water repellency on 9 Seaside.  With the Moderate Drought we are in and all of the foot traffic, the greens begin to seal off and not accept moisture.  We use soil surfactants every two weeks to help, but for this reason, we have to vent the greens with small solid tines every 4-6 weeks.  As you can imagine, this could cause serious problems.  When we aerify Seaside next week and roll the green, you won't even notice it, but the grass plants will.
