Robin dagger

Rob spent some time with the robin dagger aerating areas where water has been stood around the course. The robin dagger fires compressed air into the soil profile around 50 cm down. This breaks the soil profile hopefully aiding water penetrate away from the surface. Once the areas begin to dry Scott, Rich, Rob and Adam started the tedious task of topdressing and seeding to reinstate grass  coverage.
