Aeration

It is that time of year again when it is necessary that we aerate our greens.  Aeration is a very important component of turf health and maintaining consistent and playable putting surfaces.


Aeration is essential to make the turf as healthy as possible, especially going into a dry summer, while promoting deeper, healthier roots, allowing them to draw water from deeper in the soil reservoir.  Warm and cool season grasses benefit form spring aeration and is our most effective tool at to ensure the rootzone remains capable of supporting healthy turf.

Aeration also improves the rate in which the water moves into the soil and increases the amount of space available for oxygen to penetrate the soil.  Both water penetration and increased oxygen are critical for root and plant growth.  These factors are increasingly important as we enter into the summer months.

We do our best to expedite healing times following aeration, however aeration is a necessary step in order to maintain our great playing surfaces.  Our greens will be back rolling smooth and quick in no time. 

Course Beautification

You may have noticed some machinery any light construction on the course lately.  We are working on some course beautification and have planted a few hundred plants around the clubhouse and finishing holes here at Angeles National.  The bright red Bougainvillea recently planted is very drought tolerant and will give us plenty of color in the spring and summer months, a great contrast against the natural surroundings.

We have also added some Lantana to our main planter bed that separates number 1 and 10 tees. This plant is also very drought tolerant and will give us plenty of yellow and orange color through the spring and summer months.

Additionally, we have re-grassed several areas through the fairway, around the bunkers, and select tees to improve the playing experience.

Have a great day and we look forward to seeing you at Angeles National.

Angeles National Green Speeds

The Greens are approaching "Master's Speeds" and are rolling at 13'.5" +.

What is a Stimpmeter?

The Stimpmeter is an extruded aluminum bar, 36 inches long, with a V-shaped groove extending along its entire length. It has a precisely milled ball-release notch 30" from the tapered end (the end that rests on the ground).

The ball-release notch is designed so that a ball will always be released and start to roll when the Stimpmeter is raised to an angle of approximately 20 degrees. This feature ensures that the velocity of the ball will always be the same when it reaches the tapered end.
