Golfari Ladies Sing National Anthem
The Golfari Ladies decided to sing the National Anthem this morning in honor of Memorial Day before they started instruction for the day!
Happy Memorial Day!
Happy Memorial Day to All!! We are in the middle of our last May Ladies Golfari and everyone is busy learning and having fun. Last night the ladies enjoyed hearing stories from Peggy Kirk Bell about how she started playing golf, how she came to own Pine Needles and her memorable days on the early LPGA tour and her good friend "Babe" Zaharias. I have been honored to host such a great evening at each of our Golfaris. Hope you can come join in the fun soon and improve your golf game!

Why do we do Aerification?
.jpg)
With aerification continuing this week, we thought we'd give you some additional information about the process so you can understand why it is important for both our guests and members.
Definition: The aeration (or aerification) of greens (and sometimes fairways) occurs once or twice a year at most golf courses. The primary object is to get oxygen into the ground, to the roots of the turfgrasses.
To aerify, a piece of machinery built for the task cores the ground (punches holes and removes the dirt) in a certain pattern. This is done to loosen soil that has been compacted by golfers walking over it, opening up growing room for the roots and increasing oxygen to the roots. It usually takes a couple weeks for the holes to fill in and grow over. Some courses charge a reduced fee during the aerification process - all should at least give you some warning of the condition of the greens.
For more information about the purpose and benefits of aeration, see the article "Aerification is a Necessary and Highly Beneficial Golf Course Practice."
