if you play on aerated greens do you still have to lock in the score you played, with the 2 putt rule

Our club has aerated the greens three times this year. It’s located in southeast PA where for the last two years we have had a lot of rain and standing water damage. Two questions. One what should a club do when there is standing water on the greens? Two why would they need to aerate three times in one season

I live in Georgetown Texas at sun city. The courses here are punching and sanding greens up to 6 times a year. The courses are constantly under maintenance. As soon as the greens recover they come do it again. There hasn’t been good putting all season. It doing it this often really necessary? I am more used to airification once in the spring and once in the fall.

Putting after aeration is bad, but pitching and chipping are more adversely affected as balls bounce in random directions, throwing the ball significantly offline and changing the length of roll-out. Large tine aeration should be done rarely, no more than once annually with minor other minor aerations when necessary. It seems golf courses care lass about customer satisfaction than attempting to grow perfect grass. Do that at home, please. How about a happy medium? It costs a single digit handicap on average 5 strokes per round during the three weeks after aeration. Telling us to just violate the rules to adjust score shows what is wrong with the thinking process about trying to grow perfect grass greens. It ignores the CUSTOMER.

Hi Everyone,
In have passed this message from you to my friends at the golf club I play at.
It is in Kent, England, and as I used to be a greenkeeper, I considered it very useful to help the chaps understand that the aeration is fundamentally necessary,and why it is done.
Thank you.

I do not have a problem playing on aerated greens, if they are done properly, what bothers me is when, in some cases, the aeration process is a little rough and the greens become a little too much bumpy, you cannot control the ball at all.

I call the courses that we play most often in the Spring and Fall and get their aeration dates. Then I send a schedule around to all my golf friends so we can "play around" the punched greens. I advise a minimum of three weeks for the greens to get back to "normal".

After aerating they should increase the size of the hole for 5 days to 5 or 5-1/2 inches to make up for bad bounces, just a thought.

Golfers must bite the bullet. After 10 days it returns to a playable state. Good luck

AT ABACOA GOLF CLUB IN JUPITER, FL, WHERE IPLAY, THE GREENS ARE DONE A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR AND THE APPEARANCE IS TERRIBLE, BUT THE ACTUAL ABILITY TO PUTT IS REALLY NOT THAT MUCH WORSE. JUST GOTTA HIT IT A LITTLE HARDER AND SMILE WHEN YOU MISS. IT'S A DAMNED GAME---NOT LIFE OR DEATH. I PLAY 250 ROUNDS A YEAR AND IT'S FUN NOT A MAJOR DEAL.
