First the snow is removed down to the ice layer. Staff is wearing ice-cleats for traction. Note a 'check-plot' is left to assess the benefit of this procedure.
Next the 3-inch ice layer is fractured by the old greens aerator. Note some residual blue-dye in the ice from the previous week's experiment.
Staff is shoveling off the fractured ice revealing the finished product on the large Practice Putting Green. This area is suspect to ice damage from the winter shade of the mature oak trees. A temporary drain was installed 'in the green' during December due to this history.
