Air 2G2 Demo - 9th Green

Today, Fine Turf Services kindly gave us a demonstration of the Air 2G2 machine on the 9th green. The machine injects high pressure air into the soil profile that, in turn, causes lateral fracturing of compacted soil.

This also helps with gaseous exchange that is the essential part of respiration. Put simply, roots require oxygen as much as us humans and without it, they struggle! The real positive of this machine is the lack of disruption to the putting surface.

After the demonstration had finished, we could observe no visible effects of the machine having passed over the green. Many thanks again to Will & Ben from Fine Turf Services!
